Soviets translate novel

By CHRIS MORRIS

FREDERICTON — To the Com
munist bureaucrats of Murmansk
and Moscow, the Miramichi region of
New Brunswick represents capital-
ism at its worst.

That disturbs writer David Adams
Richards because the Miramichi is
his home and he loves it.

Nevertheless it’s his spare, some-
times bleak vision of life in the river
valley that doctrinaire Communists
seized upon to make a point. The
Soviet Board of Education has tran
slated into Russian Richards’s first
novel, The Coming of Winter, pub-
lished in 1974.

Richards feels the translators ig
nored the heart and soul of his work:
love

Jaguars! Tigers!

“The whole upshot of the trans.
lation was ‘Well ‘boy, you've really
got this right, people suffer in
Canada and we're really going to
show how they suffer,’ ” says the un.
shaven, rumpled-looking writer.

“But they never got that people
really love each other and that's the
main point of the novel.”

That's the main point of Richards's
art in general.

Richards, 37, has been writing
poems, plays, short stories and nov
els since he was 16, a rebellious and
talented kid growing up in the indus.
trial town of Newcastle on the banks
of the Miramichi River.

NOTED FOR FISH

For years, the Miramichi has been
a playground of the rich and famous
lured there by the stories river's
Atlantic salmon and its quiet isola-
tion. Former presidents, industrial
magnates, movie stars and sports
heroes have all dipped lines in the
rippling waters.

But they're not the people who
populate Richards’ books.

His characters are the hard-bitten
rural poor who get by with the help
of unemployment insurance, the odd
bit of work in the woods, booze and
each other.

“I was very influenced and very
much taken early in life by the spon
taneous generosity and courage I
saw in people who often didn’t have
much going for them in other ways,”
explains Richards, one of six children
of the manager of a Newcastle
cinema.

“That always fascinated me be-
cause the goodness of the human
spirit, the generosity and grace-
fulness of the human spirit often
comes more from people who have
less.”

His latest novel, Nights Below
Station Street (published by Mc-
Clelland and Stewart) is a contin-
uation of that tradition

Like his other novels, Nights Be-
low Station Street doesn't really
have a story.

The setting is Newcastle although
it's not clearly defined. But the river
is there. forever a part of Richards's
landscapes.

FOCUS ON FAMILY

It’s a book about people and it
focuses on the hard-luck Walsh fam-
ily

The father, Joe, is an unemployed
drunk and jack-of-all-trades with a
bad back and a half-hearted resolve
to quit drinking. His wife Rita baby-
sits children to help make ends meet.
The Walshes have two children of
their own: the bitchy teenager Adele
and the hyperactive prepubescent,
Milly.

Joe's drinking has scarred the
Walshes, left them impoverished and
bitter. But the love is still there,
shaping and softening the family.

“Joe has a noble spirit, that's why
I'm writing about him,” says Rich
ards. 'm not writing about him to
make a statement about bad times in
the Maritimes. I'm making a state.
ment that even in hard economic
times, a person like Joe has nobility.”

Our Business Is Goi:

There's no plot, just a string of
character sketches colored by the
punchy dialect of the Miramichi —
“jeeseless” (Jesus-less) is a favorite
word.

And the grimness is there, the
feeling of economic helplessness that
attracted the Soviets.

EASY TO READ

Perhaps because of his Welsh
ancestry, Richards writes with a kind
of lilting, rythmic style that's easy to
read. He says he writes quickly and
that's apparent since his books have
an almost brathless quality.

“Richartts so adored the tharactety
he created in Nights Below Station
Street, he decided to keep going. The
book is the first of a trilogy, although
he hasn't come up with a name for
the overall work.

Rehards was still studying English
literature at the University of New
Brunswick when The Coming of
Winter was published.

He decided to quit school to devote
all his tim eto writing and in 1983, the
university he left 10 years earlier
made him writer in residence. His
tenure ended last year.

While Richards says he may even-
tually leave the Maritimes, the Mir-
amichi and its troubled river will
never leave him.

“It'll take it with me,” he says

quietly.

Greg Wallace, Branch Curator for
