The first three volumes of his New & Selected Stories ("Southern", "Pittsburgh" and "Montreal Stories") are celebrations of variant lives within the familiar outline of a not-quite Clark Blaise whom Clark Blaise would nevertheless recognize. Volume Four explodes the easy identification of a writer with his own life-experience. In "World Body", Blaise weaves an intricate tapestry of terror and desire; the geography of Blaise's concerns is unique in the modern canon. |

| Publisher Description: Clark Blaise is more than just a local colourist who ferrets out the curious details of marginal' communities in order to delight cosmopolitan readers. Rather, if we consider the full arc of his work, we see that for nearly fifty years he has been challenging the way that we understand the concept of place in contemporary Canadian and American literature. |
