Ebook About The Giller Prize–winning novel from the #1 bestselling author of All Things Consoled. “A pleasure from start to finish” (Toronto Star).It’s 1975 when beautiful Dido Paris arrives at the radio station in Yellowknife, a frontier town in the Canadian north. She disarms hard–bitten broadcaster Harry Boyd and electrifies the station, setting into motion rivalries both professional and sexual. As the drama at the station unfolds, a proposed gas pipeline threatens to rip open the land and inspires many people to find their voices for the first time. This is the moment before television conquers the north’s attention, when the fate of the Arctic hangs in the balance. After the snow melts, members of the radio station take a long canoe trip into the Barrens, a mysterious landscape of lingering ice and infinite light that exposes them to all the dangers of the ever–changing air. Spare, witty, and dynamically charged, this compelling tale embodies the power of a place and of the human voice to generate love and haunt the memory. “Hay’s writing is so alluring and her lost souls so endearing that you’ll lean in to catch the story’s delicate developments as these characters shuffle along through quiet desperation and yearning.” —The Washington Post “Hay’s spare, nuanced writing reflects the landscape of northern Canada . . . The novel unfolds as a long, lovely examination of how we learn to see ourselves in the places we choose to live.” —The Associated PressBook Late Nights on Air: A Novel Review :
“Nights on the Air”, by Elizabeth Hay. Has been on my “To Be Read” stack for a while, it was highly recommended by several of my reading friends. I’m stuck at home during the COVID-19 Pandemic and this novel was the perfect escape! It was published in 2007 and set in 1975 in the Northern Territories of Canada. It is FULL of wonderful characters (Northern Canada being a character itself!) and their compelling stories, and in the end I hated to let them go. This is a very satisfying novel; the kind you close and want to sit with a while. Where to even begin? Elizabeth Hay's eloquence and utter humanity has nearly struck me dumb. I loved this book, LATE NIGHTS ON AIR, so much that I didn't want it to end.Canadian writers have fascinated me for years, maybe because I'm always so amazed that many great and well-known authors in Canada are all but UNknown here in the U.S. I remember discovering the funny and oh-so-human Smith and Other Events: Tales of the Chilcotin by Paul St Pierre many years ago. And of course there is always Farley Mowat, who is pretty well-known down here in the 48, probably mostly for his memoir, Never Cry Wolf : Amazing True Story of Life Among Arctic Wolves . But his other two memoirs, Born Naked: The Early Adventures of the Author of Never Cry Wolf and And No Birds Sang (The Farley Mowat Series) are equally good, and they are all but invisible here in this country.And there is Linden MacIntyre, the award-winning CBC journalist, with his Cape Breton novel trilogy and his lovely memoir of that region Causeway: A Passage from Innocence . I simply can't understand how those books have not caught on here.But now here is Elizabeth Hay, who has obviously been around for quite a while now and won some prestigious literary awards, and I am just now discovering her. Or thought I was, until I remembered I had read A Student of Weather some years back, a book I found, sadly, in a remainder bin. (Where I often find some of the very best books.)LATE NIGHTS ON AIR is a literary gem, written from an omniscient point-of-view with love and care for its several main characters, who have all been turned and polished so that all of their facets and flaws are revealed under the light of careful and appreciative reading. And I did appreciate these fictional folks, make no mistake, all of whom worked at a small Northern Services radio station in Yellowknife, Northwest Territory, an historical settlement on the shore of Great Slave Lake.First there is Harry, a embittered veteran of radio who peaked early, tried TV and failed, and is now, in his mid-forties, back where he started twenty years before.The story unfolds in the mid-70s and begins with Harry hearing a voice on his own radio station, a late night radio voice that he hasn't heard before. The voice belongs to Dido Paris, a new hire, a beautiful young woman with a past and indeterminate sexual preferences, who leaves her lasting mark on Harry, as well as on all the other people whose lives she touches.There is Eleanor Dew, the station's receptionist, who has her own unusual story which includes a brief unconsummated marriage. And Ralph, the station's book reviewer and nature photographer. And Eddie, a Vietnam vet and the station technician, and Harry's rival for Dido's affections.But the novel's central character is Gwen, young and - mostly - innocent, still groping for her proper place in life, looking for a start in radio. Under Harry's guidance and Eleanor's friendship she gradually grows from a frightened young broadcaster into a confident and inventive late night radio personality with her own persona, 'Stella Round.'Also key to the novel's forward impetus is the story of the Canadian explorer of the Barrens, John Hornby. Harry, Eleanor, Gwen and Ralph are all so fascinated by this man's legend and tragic end that they embark on a summer canoe trip retracing Hornby's last journey. (Both Hornby's trip and the retracing of it by this novel's characters made me remember Jon Krakauer's bestseller, Into the Wild .) And there is also the subtheme of an ongoing study by a federally appointed judge of the effects a planned pipeline would have on the fragile arctic ecosystem.LATE NIGHTS ON AIR makes use of both of the most common themes in fiction: 'a new person comes to town' and 'someone goes on a journey.' And they are used and interwoven in a masterful manner. The book is filled with wonderful details that evoked so many memories and associations. The mention of Miles Davis' seminal album, Kind of Blue , made me remember my own introduction to that jazz masterpiece, at a remote army base in northern Turkey. The book's very title, and its theme, evoked memories of other more obscure but favorite albums like Katy Moffatt's Midnight Radio and Earl Klugh's Late Night Guitar . And the description of the travelers' encounter with a massive herd of migrating caribou brought to mind Mowat's own similar experience in the aforementioned NEVER CRY WOLF.There is nothing forced or contrived in LATE NIGHTS ON AIR. It has elements of tragedy, humor, and pathos. But what shines through the strongest is its utter humanity. As I said earlier, I wanted the story to go on and on. But its ending, while certainly not a happily-ever-after conventional sort of ending, is richly, deeply, and profoundly satisfying. I loved this book and recommend it highly.- Tim Bazzett, author of the memoir, BOOKLOVER Read Online Late Nights on Air: A Novel Download Late Nights on Air: A Novel Late Nights on Air: A Novel PDF Late Nights on Air: A Novel Mobi Free Reading Late Nights on Air: A Novel Download Free Pdf Late Nights on Air: A Novel PDF Online Late Nights on Air: A Novel Mobi Online Late Nights on Air: A Novel Reading Online Late Nights on Air: A Novel Read Online Elizabeth Hay Download Elizabeth Hay Elizabeth Hay PDF Elizabeth Hay Mobi Free Reading Elizabeth Hay Download Free Pdf Elizabeth Hay PDF Online Elizabeth Hay Mobi Online Elizabeth Hay Reading Online Elizabeth HayRead His Stubborn Bear: An MM Mpreg Shifter Romance (Bears Of Asheville Book 1) By Skye R.
