A humorous and vivid collection of stories about the struggle for
human connection by two-time Scotiabank Giller Prize nominee
Russell Wangersky. As entertaining as they are insightful, the
stories in The Path of Most Resistance are anchored by the concept
of passive aggression in our everyday lives: ordinary people who
are quietly, desperately, and indirectly trying to impose their
will on the uncaring world around them. From a woman who
compulsively shops for luggage in order to sublimate her desire for
a divorce to a senior citizen who tries to force his family to
visit by refusing to eat, the characters in this collection try to
change their lives through oblique resistance. The Path of Most
Resistance is an observant and compassionate look at the feelings
of powerlessness that we all share, and will have readers silently
cringing and nodding in recognition of their own bad behaviour.
