Widening the Road

Fred Bonnie’s previous collection, Detecting Metal, was included in Booklist’s Top of the List for 1998. We believe that you will find this collection as deserving. Bonnie is a writer who’s not afraid to use plot in his stories, and he is a writer who is clearly on constant lurk for character and 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 previous Canadian-published collections, Squatter’s Rights and Displaced Persons. Mr. Bonnie has revised all the stories, which will appear in America for the first time in book form.
