    Casey, Brad

    Abstract

    The Handsome Man is a collection of linked stories that follow several years of the life of a young man as he is drawn around the world: from Toronto to Montreal, New York, Ohio, New Mexico, British Columbia, Berlin, Rome, and Northern Ontario, along the way meeting hippies, healers, drinkers, movie stars, old friends, and welcoming strangers. He isn't travelling, however; he's running away.

  • Boy lost in wild : stories

    Creator

    Hasiuk, Brenda

    Abstract

    We may be lost but we are never alone. That is the message to be found in Brenda Hasiuk’s new collection of short stories, Boy Lost in Wild. Adrift in unfamiliar surroundings, strangers to the strangers around them, the characters in each story feel lost even though they are inextricably tied to one another. A foreign student, mugged on the streets of Winnipeg, befriends his landlord. A young man bursting with rage shares a quiet moment with a sibling. The tears of a child who cannot find his way home are soothed by the voice of an elderly woman.

  • Nouvel homme : recueil de nouvelles

    Abstract

    Qu'est-ce qu'un homme? Nait-on homme, ou le devient-on? Si l'on admet une definition beaucoup plus large de la masculinite, comment l'homme contemporain se reconnait-il homme? Que deviendra la masculinite au XXIe siecle? De quelles images et de quelles histoires nos jeunes gens s'inspireront-ils afin d'asseoir leur identite sexuelle? C'est pour tenter de suppleer a une lacune - celle d'une alternative a la masculinite traditionnelle,qui ne soit pas simplement l'homosexualite - que j'ai voulu publier ce recueil.

  • Buffet froid : nouvelles

    Creator

    Dandeneau, Louise

    Abstract

    Ces courtes nouvelles sur le thème de la vengeance font découvrir avec délectation des comportements et des relations humaines souvent hors du commun, des personnages vindicatifs agissant dans une logique implacable pour tenter d'arriver à leurs fins. Tout comme dans son premier recueil, Les quatre commères de la rue des Ormes (Les Éditions du Blé, 2016), Louise Dandeneau, dans ces nouvelles revanchardes, partage avec nous sa grande imagination et son sens du rythme indéniable et nous offre des nouvelles empreintes d'une dose subtile d'humour noir.
