The Quotable Moose: A Contemporary Maine Reader
"A rich diversity of poetry, fiction and essays are collected to celebrate the uniqueness of Maine and its people. Forty of Maine's top writers chronicle a full spectrum of moods and emotions... Through the variety of settings used by the writers —islands, backwoods and small towns—readers will feel as though they have taken a statewide journey and seen life as an authentic Mainer does."
—Publishers Weekly, Starred review
"McNair hasn't just selected works for us to read; he's plotted a trip for us to take. And what a trip it is... By its willingness to experiment with language and to take on subjects not traditionally associated with Maine, the writing in The Quotable Moose rises frequently above regionalism to the level of the universal... This anthology offers a wealth of subjects and moods."
—Down East
"The Quotable Moose is a treasure trove of fine prose and poetry that probes diverse facets of Maine life and transports the reader in his or her mind around the state."
—Maine Times
