West Moon by Al Pittman
West Moon is set in Newfoundland during the time of resettlement in the mid-1960s. Though the play explores some serious social, political, moral, and theological themes, it does so with a unique blend of pathos and humor. Though the characters are dead and subject to different degrees of despair, they come vigorously alive as we meet them, for a brief while, within the confines of their mortality. This is this first authorized publication of this work by one of Newfoundland's most highly regarded writers.Al Pittman was a prolific poet, playwright, and children's book author who received numerous literary honors, including the Stephen Leacock Centennial Prize and the Lydia Campbell Award for Writing. Pittman, a lifelong resident of Corner Brook, NL, died in 2001 at the age of sixty-one. The Stephen Leacock Centennial Award, the Lydia Campbell Award for Writing, and the Writers' Alliance of Newfoundland and Labrador Book Award for Poetry are among Pittman's many accolades.
