Repeat This and You're Dead

Lawrence Russell

Repeat This and You're Dead

In Repeat This and You’re Dead, celebrated dramatist Lawrence Russell ventures for the first time into fiction. With gritty and unforgiving realism, these «short short stories» cast a harsh eye on the Ireland of the last half of this century, a country brutally divided while fiercely loyal to an ambiguous past and an even more turbulent future. With Russell’s characteristic black humour and gleeful sarcasm, the characters act out their fated lives on the public stage, stories narrated as...

Victoria Morgan, violin virtuoso extraordinaire, and her devoted piano accompanist are on yet another European tour currently stopping in Vienna. While playing to a full house, Tory leaves the stage and disappears in the middle of this important concert, leaving behind a puzzled (and angry) audience.

Where Dreams Have Gone

Norma Harrs

Where Dreams Have Gone

Dreams vanish in most of the masterful stories that make up Norma Harrs's new collection. A young Irish girl falls in love with an older married professor and has her first date with heartache; a middle-aged woman attends her niece's wedding and drunkenly surveys the wreck of her own life and love affairs; a young woman admires her kind and beautiful neighbour so much that she is almost drawn into a not so innocent profession … Adversity, sometimes disaster, befalls Norma Harrs's...

Tending the Remnant Damage

Sheila Peters Annie

Tending the Remnant Damage

Sheila Peters makes her impressive fiction debut with a collection of loosely linked stories whose characters, whether they live in the Queen Charlotte Islands or the Prairies, are ordinary men and women who have seemingly everyday experiences that glimmer with the extraordinary. Her spare, stripped-down prose, leavened with sly humour and a gift for poetic resonance, reminds one of the work of Alice Munro or Sandra Birdsell. Peters creates people who often feel out of sync with the spiritual,...

North of the Equator

Cyril Dabydeen

North of the Equator

Cyril Dabydeen’s new collection of stories, North of the Equator , looks at the polarities of tropical and temperate places. Acclaimed novelist Sam Selvon (The Lonely Londoners) says, "Dabydeen is in the vanguard of contemporary short-story writers, shuttling with equal and consummate skill from rural Guyana to metropolitan Canada." Dabydeen’s characters occupy the spaces in between. They live in limbo, stretched between two worlds: one, an adopted home in Canada; the other, a...

On the Threshold

Foxglove Collective

On the Threshold

In 1993, a group of five Kingston women–T. Anne Archer, Mary Cavanagh, Elizabeth Greene, Tara Kainer, Janice Kirk–began to compile ananthology about Canada at the point where one millennium becomes another. As the newly-formed Foxglove Collective, they solicited manuscripts that reflected origins (how the past shapes the present), life at the end of this century, and projections past the year 2000. They envisioned a book that wove together established, emerging, and previously unpublished voices...

Moving Water

Joan Skogan

Moving Water

Joan Skogan’s marvelously poetic new novel draws upon her own years adrift on the sea as a wanderer and wonderer to tell the story of Rose Bachmann, a woman at mid-tide in a life awash in the debris of a mysterious marriage, in myths both long known and newly invented and in the magical coastline of the NOrth Pacific. Rose finds herself at rest in the rock form of a petroglyph entitled The One Who Fell From Heaven , near Prince Rupert, B.C. and there she imagines, in a brilliant song to her...

Segased ehk õigus olla loll

Jüri V. Grauberg

Segased ehk õigus olla loll

Satiiriline kollaazromaan suvalistest Eestis elavatest inimestest, nende elust, tegemistest ja arusaamadest koroonaviiruse ajal. Kuna tegemist on fiktsiooniga, siis kõik arvatavad kokkusattumused ja võimalikud äratundmisrõõmud leiavad aset vaid lugeja peas. Romaanis toodud seisukohad ja arusaamad ei pruugi kokku langeda autori omadega.
