ALISTAIR MACLEOD was born in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, and raised among an extended family in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. MacLeod's only novel, No Great Mischief, won numerous awards, including the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award, the Dartmouth Book Award for Fiction, the Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award, and the Trillium Book Award. He was also the author of two internationally acclaimed collections of short stories: The Lost Salt Gift of Blood and As Birds Bring Forth the Sun. In 2000, these two books, accompanied by previously unpublished stories, were brought together in a single-volume edition entitled Island: The Collected Stories. Alistair MacLeod died in April 2014.
