We’re excited to announce that our acting chair, Professor Robert McGill, has published his debut collection, Simple Creatures.
“In this debut collection, Robert McGill explores the heartaches and joys of people who are desperate to uncomplicate their complicated world. Through stories taking the form of YouTube monologues, pet-care instructions, school reports, or the unspoken thoughts of a young scholar obsessed with a famous Canadian writer, Simple Creatures also shows us the sometimes hilarious, often poignant ways in which our use of language shapes our relationships with others and ourselves.”
You can learn more about Simple Creatures on the Coach House Book's website.
