Beschreibung:
Wade Bell's fiction has appeared in magazines and anthologies in Canada, Japan, Spain and the U.S. and on the radio and internet. He was born and raised in Edmonton and has lived in Ottawa, Barcelona and Calgary.
In this stunning book, Wade Bell writes on the level of Raymond Carver and Roberto Bolano. He knows exactly what to leave out to make a short story great. This is a book everyone who loves great fiction and short stories will want to read. He is the master of endings and like Alice Munro keeps us guessing until the final sentence. These are stories to dwell on and ravish in. Read just one and you will be hooked! -- Robert Hilles (Author of "A Gradual Ruin & Partake").
