Kingston writer Richard Cumynâs second book of short stories is a remarkable collection of fiction about the curse of modernityâdisplacement. In striking scenes Cumyn subtly explores our own sense of abandonment and loneliness in the face of change, movement and loss. Cumynâs prose is sparse and direct, the violence supressed beneath the surface casual and foreboding. His characters are at once familiar and eerily distinct, their relationships a tender blend of heartbreak and affection. Separations achieved through illness, betrayal, aging, necessity, choice or dismissal represent an emotional x-ray of a society looking for permanence in an increasingly fluid and precarious world. This collection will haunt you like a shadow creeping over a suburban streetâ all the landmarks appear familiar but each door leads to unimagined worlds. Great stories await there. |
