We So Seldom Look on Love by Barbara Gowdy
A debut collection of short stories by the author of the novel "Falling Angels". Populated by an assortment of freaks, Siamese twins, voyeurs, exhibitionists, necrophiles and transsexuals, this collection of extraordinary, bizarre and often grotesque stories is shot through with humorous sympathy.
'Gowdy is a writer now emerging as one of Canada's most accomplished and outrageous.. We So Seldom Look on Love will only deepen her reputation for fine technique and alarming content. These are unsettling and profoundly moving short stories to be read, and reread, and then to be dreamt upon . . . this is a remarkable and uplifting book.' Toronto Globe and Mail 'Barbara Gowdy's stunning collection plants her firmly in the constellation of Canada's bright literary lights . . . in this new set of stories she truly shines. Her insatiable curiousity, her candour and her cool wit emerge like chrysalids from the assembled deformity of this lively and memorable book.' Montreal Gazette
