Alistair MacLeod

Alistair MacLeod (1936-2014), born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, to parents from Cape Breton, returned at the age of ten to Inverness County, on that Nova Scotia island settled by descendants of the Highlanders. He paid for his studies by working as a lumberjack and as a miner, trades that would become the matter of his writing, then taught literature and writing at the University of Windsor, where he became professor emeritus. He published only two collections and one novel, writing in summer in a cabin facing Prince Edward Island. He died in Windsor in 2014.
