Summary
Twelve short stories featuring innovative conceits, characters fleeing from life's problems, and doses of ironic, dark humour. In "Outside," a car accident separates a couple, while in "Ring Around the Moon," a buttoned-down insurance worker goes off on an adventure… when his father moves back to his native Scotland. Roaming from Canada to Fiji to Australia, these are portraits of outsiders and lost souls who worship at the altar of medical science while secretly praying for redemptive love. 2001.
