The Sword Maker

Viac o knihe

Witty narration and ironic twists characterize Robert Barr's short stories, while his novels are typically episodic, focusing on a central character across loosely connected chapters. Born in Glasgow and later settling in Canada, Barr's diverse range of protagonists often fall into stereotypes, with his storytelling enriched by moral reflections and asides. His background as a newspaper and magazine editor informs his narrative style, blending humor with insightful commentary.
