Shortlisted for the Governor General's Award for FictionA Guide to
Animal Behaviour is a stunning collection of stories by an author
who is fast becoming one of the great, innovative story writers of
his generation. Following on the heels of his widely acclaimed
comic novel, The South Will Rise at Noon, Douglas Glover's new
collection smashes all the fictional moulds.Urbane, stylish, and
off-beat, the stories in this collection touch the lives of an
astonishing array of characters whose common experience is of a
world that is wayward yet full of marvels: a born-again Christian
from Kentucky who loses his memory and ends up finding true love in
glitzy Bel Air; two women who fall in love only to be parted when
one dies of cancer; a man who goes to live in a cardboard box when
his wife leaves him for the manager of a Toys R Us store; an
eighteenth-century Canadian pioneer who believes he is being
persecuted by witches.This is sophisticated fiction at its best. A
maximalist writer of ideas, he packs his sentences with energy,
exuberant imagery and amazing turns of thoughts.
