Synopsis;
These are stories of a twenty-something generation, growing up in small towns and cities of Canada, confronting the universal dilemmas of life in the real world. No tidy coming-of-age collection, Andrew’s stories are populated with characters who struggle to reach out – sometimes painfully, sometimes comically, not always successfully – to make sense of their fractured condition in an a disaffected universe. First love, first lust, first terrible moment of awareness that in a moment, life can change. This is shimmering, profound writing that moves from subtle moments of awakening to brutally shattering epiphanies.
