Produktbeschreibung
Multiple award-winning author Cary Fagan displays his extraordinary range and talent in a new collection that is by turns sensitive, surprising, and outrageously funny. A disgruntled border in 1970s London watches an affair develop between his landlady and a young Canadian student. A woman recalls the family that lived in a very nice tree in her backyard. A fifteen-year-old girl steals a book from a "pretty little bookstore" and sets in motion a remarkable whirlwind journey through New York City. Three turn-of-the-century musicians cross into Saskatchewan to escape an angry gunslinger. A couple decides to separate, only to find that their cat and their dog have a lot to say on the matter. With witty dialogue, compelling characters, and superb writing, each of these five exquisite stories differs vastly from the next, yet together conjure a world fuelled by the power of our wildest imaginings. A Fast Horse Never Brings Good News is a propulsive and vital new work from one of our country's most gifted and treasured writers.
