Widening the Road — Fred Bonnie

Fred Bonnie's previous collection, Detecting Metal, was included in Booklist's Top of the List for 1998. We believe that you'll find this collection as deserving. Bonnie was a writer not afraid to use plot in his stories, and he was a writer on a constant lurk for characters. His stories convey a delightful sense of humor wherein the protagonist is often enough hoisted by his or her own petard. These stories combine two out-of-print Canadian collections, Squatter's Rights and Displaced Persons. Fred revised all the stories, which appear in America for the first time in book form.
