About This Item
Toronto, ON, Canada: McClelland & Stewart, 2000. Soft cover. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; a few light scratches to covers; remainder mark to bottom edge and blue dot to lower back corner; otherwise very minimal wear; Moving from the hilarious farce of teenage romance all the way to the numbing tragedy of life in a ward for incurables, these twelve stories inspire belief, admiration, and enjoyment, and come together to form a vibrant chronicle of human experience from a gifted observer of life's joys and tribulations.
