BOOK REVIEW Living in a pleasant country By It GORDON Canadians arc sometimes overly modest about their country though thiy needed someone from to rcas sure them that they were indeed living In a pleasant land and doing passably well A New Kind Of Country by Dorothy Ooubtedn pages 7 is a book thai will not merely reinforce a Canadians belief in his own land but may make many Americans wish that could be pari of our rhis is not tourist brochure Near the beginning the ienn author says It was country I never visited be fore It this thai was foreign not my surroundings And it was frightening East Tumbril is the code name for the small town where she bought her house and come to know the of Nova Scotia She came to know the people who lived there At the end of the book she says this Nothing in life Stands still tides ire in Incessant motion the earth moves on its axle our bodies manufacture million new blood cells every second and yesterday mistakes forgiveable because is I changed a great ikal from living in East Tumbril out as well as One day when my son Jonathan visited me in uary and the pipes froze said How calm are Do you remember how this would have upset you three ago in New Jersey On a visit back to the States a friend said You look so different now so relaxed The strain gone from your eyes Some of the lime and of the Nova Scotia coast is Inside of me now and always will be It is the best part and the newest SFLr There is much lion going on these days on television and on the printed page A good deal of It is somewhat startling in a vulgar way This too a book of self exploration but most readers will I predict feel there are companions in tho exploration rnlher than mere on lookers There arc nice quiet bits like this When we first visited East my sou Jonat said Have you noticed the way everybody talks about the weather You think there was nothing else to talk about Well t The weather was THERE an Integral part or life elemental unpredictable and always ALWAYS dramatic could leave for town in a thick fog reach Tumbril Centre to find the sun shining and drive through a snowstorm before I reached town When the sun shone it was dazzling when there was fog it was and pearly drifting past one windows or sometimes following one up from the beach when it moved in fast and then of course there was the wind I grew Immersed in country life I took began every conversation with lations about the weather what else was more Import Even today I remain easy if the day ends without a complicated weather report and a complete marine fore cast remain eternally broc for the unexpected now which In East Tumbril was the norm And then a page later she says are born alone and we die alone we d belter learn how to handle and solitude AlttAYSOCM Later on she seems to the difficulty of the thesis she has laid down Its hard to separate one self and stand alone For a cause for a belief for a purpose even to try something new And for women the rylcs are little more complicated than for men It hard enough PHYSICALLY for a woman to continue being a teacher or physicist after had a child but emotionally Its hardest of all She runs the Intolerable risks of being Moot Independent but selfish or moat biting of all mascu line We move from guilt to guilt damned if we do and damned If we don The book is perhaps at its best when Dorothy Gflman is simply describing her life In the small Nova Scotia village but is made fuller and more meaningful by her reflections on the state of man A render may disagree with some of her thoughts but will not lightly dismiss them This is Dorothy Gilmnn first novel hope she will do another before too long Richard Cordon I Gordon novel You II Hear Me Laughing is to be published later
