Produktbeschreibung

***DANUTA GLEED LITERARY AWARD FINALIST*** ***ALISTAIR MACLEOD PRIZE FOR SHORT FICTION FINALIST** ***MARGARET AND JOHN SAVAGE FIRST BOOK AWARD - FICTION FINALIST*** ***NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR BOOK AWARDS FICTION AWARD FINALIST*** ***2020 RELIT AWARDS: LONG SHORTLIST*** In twelve dialed-in and exceptionally honed short stories, Terry Doyle presents an enduring assortment of characters channelled through the chain reactions of misfortune and redemption. A construction worker's future is bound to a feckless and suspicious workmate. A young woman's burgeoning social activism is constrained by hardship and the desperation of selling puppies online. A wedding guest recognizes a panhandler attending the reception. And a man crafts a concealed weapon with which to carry out his nightly circuit of paltry retribution. Through keen-eyed observation, and with an impressive economy of statement, Doyle conveys these characters over a backdrop of private absurdities and confusions--countering the overbearance of a post-tragic age with grit, irony, and infinitesimal signs of hope.
