Les bonnes filles plantent des fleurs au printemps: nouvelles
Par Claudia Larochelle. 2011
"Jeunes, moins jeunes ou bien installées dans la vieillesse, les femmes dépeintes par Claudia Larochelle marchent en talons sur le…
fil de fer tendu au-dessus de l'abîme. Travaillées au ventre par le désir ou la solitude, par l'absence ou la promesse de maternité, par l'abandon et par le temps ravageur que des couches infinies de fard ne peuvent contrer, elles offrent au monde le visage de la passion et du désespoir combinés, la tension sous la beauté, et le carnage sous le visage peint. Ces femmes sont champs de bataille." -- 4e de couvUn rêve d'albatros: nouvelles (Continents noirs)

Par Carol Windley. 2006
From the acclaimed author of Visible Light comes a collection of seven outstanding stories, each set against the rural landscape…
of Vancouver Island and the cities of the Pacific Northwest. In these stories the memories and dreams of characters are examined, revealing them to be both cages and keys to the cages. The life lessons learned by the characters are often as complicated and painful as they are illuminating. In the title story, two sisters fall in love with their math tutor on one of the Gulf Islands, inhabited equally by the ghosts of the misfits and Hollywood stars who came to live there, and the children of an alternative school, run by the girls’ criminally optimistic father. In “Sand and Frost,” a young girl drops out of UBC, returns home, and discovers that her domineering grandmother is the sole survivor of a shocking act of family violence. In “What Saffi Knows,” a child, unable to explain to her self-involved parents, struggles with the knowledge of the whereabouts of another missing child. In these remarkable seven stories, Carol Windley creates a sense of place and of people that breathe the cool wet air of a spring morning on Gabriola Island.Life Without Death
Par Peter Unwin. 2013
In Life Without Death, the latest short story collection from Peter Unwin, ordinary men and women search for meaning in…
lives subject to change, chance, coincidence, and catastrophe. A man recalls a lifetime of love and loss while copying contacts out of his old little black book. A woman is left her dying father's secret stash of pornography, and is entrusted with the unenviable task of disposing of it. A new father unexpectedly discovers a way of connecting to his autistic son. For one day, guests to a wedding set aside their various past misdeeds in order to celebrate a young couple's union. A teenager newly introduced to a life of petty crime suddenly finds himself in way over his head. A man's former acquaintance resurfaces decades later as the subject of a haunting art film. Unwin's characters live full, complex lives within each story. Though they may not find the simple answers they seek, if such answers even exist, they-and readers-gain something farmore valuable on their journeys: perspective.The Syrian Ladies Benevolent Society: Stories

Arkansas: Three Novellas
Par David Leavitt. 1998
Three &“sly, self-knowing, and hilarious&” novellas from the highly acclaimed author of The Lost Language of Cranes (The New York…
Times). Here are three novellas of escape and exile, touching and funny and at times calculatedly outrageous. In &“Saturn Street,&” a disaffected LA screenwriter delivers lunches to homebound AIDS patients, only to find himself falling in love with one of them. In &“The Wooden Anniversary,&” Nathan and Celia—familiar characters from Leavitt&’s story collections—reunite after a five-year separation. And in "The Term-Paper Artist," a writer named David Leavitt, hiding out at his father&’s house in the aftermath of a publishing scandal, experiences literary rejuvenation when he agrees to write term papers for UCLA undergraduates in exchange for sex. &“Confessional, audacious and outrageous . . . This is classic Leavitt—writing with subtlety, maturity and compassion about the complexity and fragility of human relationships.&” —Los Angeles Times Book ReviewHarlequin Heartwarming February 2024 Box Set: A Clean and Wholesome Romance
