This is a first collection of stories by a young writer who has lived on most of the frontiers of Canada, from Labrador to the Northwest Territories. He has often appeared in Descant and other literary magazines and been nominated for a number of prizes. His stories explore the lives of people who have lost their way, whose conscience is no longer heard, whose existence has little point. Carlucci is not a comfortable writer, but he’s an important new voice on the Canadian scene, a voice that deserves to be heard.
