Lesley Choyce writes rings around most Canadian authors. Even
so, the most recent of his five books of stories came out in 1988,
and most are out of print. It's time for a new collection and here
it is -- "Dance the Rocks Ashore" or, as one might say, choice
Choyce.
"Dance the Rocks Ashore" contains substantial new stories
including "Dance the Rocks Ashore," a bittersweet account of an
elderly couple's decline; the hilarious and bizarre "My Father Was
a Book Reviewer"; "The Third or Fourth Happiest Man in Nova
Scotia," with a peculiar hero reminiscent of Noah; and "The Wreck
of the Sister Theresa," in which spring fever hits like "a
handshake in hell." Favourite stories from previous books include
"Losing Ground," the pivotal chapter in Choyce's acclaimed 1989
novel "The Second Season of Jonas MacPherson," as well as "The
Cure," "Dancing the Night Away," and the complex and disturbing
"Conventional Emotions."
