Juliet Was a Surprise by Bill Gaston
Requirements: Epub reader/Mobi reader, 1.01 Mb
Overview: Gaston’s characteristic keen insight and wit dazzle in this new collection. Readers will see the world through the prism of unfamiliar perspectives: a delusional playboy, a tree surgeon better attuned to the values of his “patients” than to other people, a mad professor, a former pizza-delivery boy convinced he’s witnessed magic—all struggling to justify the choices they’ve made.
These lives illustrate how we can fail to understand the simplest of truths and how often we are trapped by the peculiarities of the way we see the world.
The Globe and Mail says that “Bill Gaston deserves to dwell in the company of Findlay, Atwood, and Munro as one of this country’s literary treasures.” In his hands, the absurd becomes comprehensible and everyday life comes to look strange. What holds these stories and their characters together is the underlying faith in the humanity of even the most dangerously misguided among us. Consistently funny, but just as often heartbreaking, Juliet Was a Surprise portrays the humour and unfairness of life through the blunders and crimes of men and women with whom we can’t help but sympathize.
