A new collection of stories by Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist Gary Barwin that puts the fab in fabulist.

Barwins prose kicks against short fictions more traditional forms: these are pieces that flirt with poetry and playwriting. Whole storiesand worldsare packed into single compact paragraphs. There are narrators and fleas and lists and imperatives and Hitlers moustache and radiant happiness.
