Around The Mulberry Tree

[quote style=“boxed”]Around the Mulberry Tree introduced a strong new talent, Scott Lawrence, to Canadian readers. Although a collection of separate pieces, a common time and place give the book the solidity of a novel, while these unities in no way restrain the author from ranging far with inventive styles, startling approaches, dizzy angles of vision — a world turned inside out. What we find here is virtuosity, the kind that excites as it reads. It is evident from the first page onward that this writer is ‘in command.” —Elizabeth Spencer[/quote]
