Kinsella’s latest collection of short stories, ‘‘Red Wolf: Red Wolf” (Collins:$22.95) displays a subtle growth in this gifted writer’s power to capture not only the intrinsic humour of character or situation, but also the intrinsic tragedy. A subtle, graceful writer, - Kinsella still displays his sharp wit in ‘‘Lieberman in Love’’ as Lieberman, setting a. trap, is neatly caught in a trap — be it a f honeyed one. There is also the pathetic poetry of “Mother Tucker’s Yellow Duck”,a gentle sad reminiscence of the magic of the sixties. There are startling and haunting images here — the passion of young love under its blanket of butterflies; the placid and self- § satisfied Wesley adjusting his posture in the death seat of the car his unfulfilled wife is driving; the character who has come to live with § his author standing uncertain before the future when she dies. There is the sense that each of these people has turned to Kinsella not as interpreter but as chronicler. They are their own people, and that is one of Kinsella’s greatest achievements.
