The Deep and Other Stories

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Swan, Mary, PUBLISHER: Random House Trade, "A writer who arrives with grace and authority," says Alice Munro about the superb short stories of Mary Swan, winner of the First Prize in the O. Henry Awards. In The Deep and Other Stories, Mary Swan gives us brilliant stories that illuminate the remarkable moments in life, covering a wide range of human thoughts and emotions in a unique, imaginative, and profoundly moving way. ""The Deep,"" her O. Henry Prize-winning story and the centerpiece of this book, tells of twin sisters, their lives amid the horror and confusion of World War I, and the deep connection between them. The mysterious bonds that entwine people are at the heart of other stories as well. Whether vacationing at the Belgian seaside (""By the Sea, By the Sea"") or sharing an apartment in Spain (""Spanish Grammar""), Swan's characters discover the emotional foundations that are part of being human. Imaginative, poetic, and true, The Deep and Other Stories reveals something unexpected--and magnificent--about what it means to be alive, to feel love and passion, to know and experience the world's pains and pleasures in a way that is rooted in, and ultimately the essence of, the human condition. As Mary Gordon says, "'"The Deep"' marks the deep strangeness of the project of being alive....It flowers entirely on its own terms, and the terms are rich and strange." "From the Hardcover edition."

The Magician's Beautiful Assistant... and Other Stories

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wyatt, Rachel, PUBLISHER: Hedgerow Press, Fiction. The thirteen stories in this collection are set in Toronto, Iqaluit and Western Canada, places where Rachel Wyatt has lived and worked since emigrating from England in .

The characters here are ordinary people who find themselves in extraordinary situations, leading them to discover important truths about themselves and those close to them. Misunderstandings, mishearings, and mistaken identities occur in sometimes surreal, often farcical, situations, reflecting Wyatt's extensive experience as playwright and skilled creator of comedy. Dialogue and narrative are shot through with wit, irony, and a quiet humor. These stories are fun and easy to read, but raise important questions that leave the reader with much to contemplate.

Bad Water and Other Stories of the Alaskan Panhandle

Bad Water and Other Stories of the Alaskan Panhandle: Bad Water and Other Stories of the Alaskan Panhandle is a book of short stories set in southeast Alaska on an archipelago about the size of Florida. There are not many people and most of them live in a few small scattered towns. Some live in the more remote areas of the thousands of miles of coastline and hundreds of backwater bays and coves, making a living at whatever is available.Alaska is a place where geography and weather dictate human behavior, and that could mean eating the same dried beans, rice, deer meat and fish for a good part of the year. With no freeways and little law enforcement (a 911call means contacting the Coast Guard), people must learn to be self-sufficient, especially in times of emergencies. Sometimes people make their own solutions to solve problems. If a solution doesn't work and you're still alive, it's time to try another! The folks that live in this remote part of Alaska do whatever it takes to make it work. There's a freedom that can't be had in civilization, but the price is high. These are their stories.
