Pearl Pirie on The Uncertainty Principle, stories (2014)

Pearl Pirie writes up some short notes on rob mclennan's The Uncertainty Principle: stories, (2014) over at her blog part of her ongoing list of "95 Books for 2014" [photo of Brian Pirie reading borrowed from Pearl's post]. Thanks much, Pearl! See her original post here.

Might we see you at the Ottawa launch of The Uncertainty Principle at The Manx Pub on Saturday, May 10th? Part of the Plan 99 Reading Series, the event begins at 5pm, and copies of the book, as well as copies of Ground Rules and mclennan's two novels, will be available for sale.

Two previous reviews have already appeared of the collection, including Ryan Pratt's review on the ottawa poetry newsletter, and C.A. LaRue over at The Small Press Book Review.



31. Uncertainty Principle by rob mclennan (Chaudiere, 2014)

My favourite of any of rob’s books to date. Little flash fictions, some quirky, some funny, some touching. A fun read. Some stories are expanded and deepened since I last heard them in an open mic. One I was there when it happened, in the sense of being on the same bus to St. Catherines and hearing a first draft.

Hubby & I read the whole book aloud to one another over an evening. Cute size, lovely design.
