| Publisher Description: A story collection by award-nominated writer Andrew Forbes that rifles through the domestic and wild moments that make us human. Escaping government-sanctioned flooding, obsessing over camera-equipped drones, violently mourning a lost brother, discovering a new passion in fencing, watching a wildfire consume a whole town: the stories in Lands and Forests survey the emotional landscapes of women and men whose lives, though rooted deeply in the land and their small communities, are still rocked by great cultural change. These are raw, honest character studies reminiscent of the work of Alexander MacLeod and Lisa Moore, but with a style and energy all their own. A gift to short fiction lovers--a spare, smart, thoughtful collection.--Open Book These stories are elemental, wise, and beautiful."--Alexander MacLeod, Scotiabank Giller Prize-nominated author of Light Lifting |
