I've always been fascinated by the magical, creative quality of language. I'm not talking about the creative abilities of a user of language, but rather the magical 'influence' a word or an expressed thought construct has on the mind, beyond the intent of the one who expresses it. We all live in a world of isolation where the only way we have of knowing that there is a world around us, populated by others somewhat similar to ourselves is by the impressions we receive from our five senses and the only thing that allows us to connect with each other in a meaningful way is language, and the meaning of language is PROFOUNDLY infuenced by the way it is expressed. When we need to communicate something which words alone are unable to encompass, we turn to the language of the inexpressible, poetry. And this book... well... this is me trying to say stuff.

Devil Is a Travelling Man: Two Plays by W.O. Mitchell
W.O. Mitchell jokingly called himself the great re-run king, but his retellings of age-old conflicts between humanity and the Devil strikingly display his versatile adaptive talents. <br><em>The Black Bonspiel of Wullie MacCrimmon</em> is a whimsical take on the Faust legend with a distinctly Canadian flavor. Filled with wry humor and set against the backdrop of a timeless small-town dynamic, the story of Wullie MacCrimmon's curling duel with the Devil combines the edginess of Marlowe's classic tale with the down-to-earth wry Canadian humor of "Corner Gas.". <br><em>The Devil's Instrument</em> depicts a Hutterite teenager struggling with conformity in a puritan society. Mitchell's devil in this play is a figure of sympathy, but lines such as "Happy? I am free!" invite the ambiguity of whether it is better to indulge in what seems natural, or strive for the divine. Introduced by Ormond Mitchell and Barbara Mitchell and including original production photography, this collection provides humor, sobriety, and wonderful storytelling with a dash of the infernal. An essential, whimsical part of Oxford's new Outlooks on Canadian Literature series.
