À propos de cet audio
Vivid, profound, moving, and with moments of sly humour, the stories in The Night Piece reveal worlds both familiar and deeply strange. Drawing from Alexis's acclaimed debut collection, Despair and Other Stories of Ottawa, and the highly original Beauty and Sadness, and including previously uncollected stories, here is the surreal and brilliant short fiction of André Alexis--one of Canada's most extraordinary writers.
With an Afterword by Madeleine Thien
Ce que les critiques en disent
A CBC Best Canadian Fiction Book of the Year
“[An] element of mystery—of something plainly and unabashedly inexplicable—resides at the heart of Alexis’s short fiction, collected here in a single volume that spans the author’s entire career. . . . As consistently entertaining as it is philosophically invigorating.”
—Quill & Quire
“Alexis’ sometimes tragic, never happy, usually fun, always funny, mostly unnerving stories are what happens to magic realism when it moves to Toronto after spending a couple of decades in Ottawa. . . . There is nothing that is not enjoyable in these stories, the fun versions of all the dark weirdness Canadian writers and film-makers were briefly famous for in the ‘90s, and Andre Alexis deserves all the Gillers and at least one Booker.”
