A collection of stories about life’s outsiders. Sometimes shocking, but all sensitively written. A collection of stories with a difference.
June 2010 Guest Editor Patrick Gale on Barbara Gowdy...
As yet the only collection of stories from this consistently brilliant Canadian novelist, this is every bit as unsettling as Ian McEwan’s notorious early books. The title tale of necrophilia is the one everyone remembers but my particular favourite is Presbyterian Crosswalk, a funny, nasty tale of childhood anxiety and religious mania.
