Beskrivning

Rebecca Rosenblum's Once is a fiercely original and assured debut, a collection of sixteen stories portraying the constricted and confused lives of the rootless twenty-somethings -- students, office techies, waitresses, warehouse labourers, street hustlers -- who inhabit them. These are stories grounded in the all-too-real comedy and tragedy of jobs and friendships and romances, books and buses and bodies.

Recensioner i media

"Delivered in prose that is at once compressed, poetic, and precise, these tales do not move forward with a classical narrative arc. Rather, they meander, their conclusions less revelations than uneasy question marks."--The Walrus "Fiercely original, her stories force us into a new experiencing of life ... her work dazzles me."--John Metcalf "It's a fascinating tease from a writer who's intent on probing the mysteries of self and other through the related mysteries of fiction."--Globe and Mail "In her own poetic and precise style, Rosenblum sees the beauty in the everyday and tells the story of the everyday. Everyone, everywhere has a story."&#8212Santa Fe Writers Project
