Seán Virgo

4.9/5 (27906 ratings)

Description:*Shortlisted for the 2014 ReLit Award*Shortlisted for the 2013 Saskatchewan Book Award for FictionSeán Virgo knows the power of short fiction. He knows that the act of story-telling is hardwired into human consciousness and that the well-told story can appear in various shapes and sizes. We see this clearly in the exquisite simplicity in the collection’s opening pieces where he uses verse fable and folktale interchangeably, forging the stories’ links to a preliterate oral culture. Virgo’s commitment to the form’s mercurial possibilities continues, leaving the reader to grapple with how to personalize archetypal symbols in order to understand a woman’s fate or assign meanings to the actions taken by a doubting priest to realize his destiny. Discover a blended mix of fantasy and magical realism where fusions of the everyday, the illusory, the mythical, and the morbid blur traditional distinctions between what happened and what we think happened. The result is a fascinating dance between reader and text that is as rewarding as it is challenging, reminding us of what Anaïs Nin meant when she said, “We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
