Curtis John McRae: McRae, C: Quietly, Loving Everyone, Flexibler Einband

Klappentext

A striking debut collection by one of Montreal's brightest young writers.

Quietly, Loving Everyone , Curtis McRae's debut collection of stories, assembles a meditative and often profound cycle of portraits pulled from everyday Canadian life. A young boy raises James Dean from the dead, only to find out the cult icon is not the playmate he' d hoped for. A university student riddled with ulcers silently spirals after being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. A young girl takes a road trip with her older sister to Cape Cod, and years later reconstructs the tragic circumstances behind what she remembers. A couple goes on a date at an old porn theatre that is the last remaining vestige of a neighbourhood that has moved on. McRae plays witness characters at those crucial beginnings or ends of relationships, with lovers, friends, family, and most importantly themselves.
