Chemical Valley (Paperback)

Winner of the Alistair MacLeod Prize for Short Fiction * A Thomas Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award Finalist * A 2022 ReLit Award Finalist * A Siskiyou Prize Semi-Finalist * A Miramichi Reader Best Fiction Title of 2021 Oil-soaked and swamp-born, the bruised optimism of Huebert's stories offer sincere appreciation of the beauty of our wilted, wheezing world. From refinery operators to long term care nurses, dishwashers to preppers to hockey enforcers, Chemical Valley's compassionate and carefully wrought stories cultivate rich emotional worlds in and through the dankness of our bio-chemical animacy. Full-hearted, laced throughout with bruised optimism and sincere appreciation of the profound beauty of our wilted, wheezing world, Chemical Valley doesn't shy away from urgent modern questions-the distribution of toxicity, environmental racism, the place of technoculture in this ecological spasm-but grounds these anxieties in the vivid and often humorous intricacies of its characters' lives. Swamp-wrought and heartfelt, these stories run wild with vital energy, tilt and teeter into crazed and delirious loves.
