A review by lisaamerikanos
Mateship with Birds by Carrie Tiffany

2.0

An overworked metaphor and at times quite unnecessarily crass. Could have been better as a short story. Not enough plot for a novel and style doesn't achieve modernist ambitions of Woolf's stream of consciousness or Joyce's hovering detail. Annoying poems and 'nature diary' inserted which don't serve the characters or plot. Not sure why it won the Stella.
