Fiction (Short
stories)
Sweet Like Saltwater: Stories
Toronto: TSAR, 1999.
9th floor PS8557
.E583 S93 1999
Publisher's Synopsis
These stories -- about a fanatical cricket supporter in rural
colonial Guyana, an immigrant girl on the run on a Canadian
backroad, a terrifying aquatic encounter in a faraway planetary
colony of the future, a meeting of former neighbours on the
banks of the Hudson -- probe with acuity and a wry sense of
humour the very modern condition of human exile and the search
for freedom and belonging.
