| Shape of Things to Come |
| Stories by Richard Lemm |
In this new collection, Richard Lemm traces his own journey
from the west coast of North America to the east coast of
Canada with his first foray into the world of short fiction.
His hard-living characters follow their own paths through
relationships with parents and siblings, friends and lovers,
discovering and sometimes crossing their limits as they try
to find their own way in the world.
A thirty-something man takes a chance on finding love after
he encounters an exotic opera singer on an airplane. Two
brothers face their own ghosts as they come to terms with
the death of their father. A young man tries to live with his
friends' idea of justice after one of them crosses the line.
The stories are decidedly masculine - sometimes
apologetically so - but always honest. They resonate long
after the pages are closed, offering a fresh voice from one
of Atlantic Canada's finest poets. Whether arm-wrestling in
a blue-collar tavern, growing up without fathers, or
shimmying to a harvest party in Prince Edward Island, the
people in Shape of Things to Come will tug and jar you in
unexpected directions.
