The A List edition of Leo McKay's superb collection. Shortlisted for the
Scotiabank Giller Prize, Like This takes you inside small-town Nova
Scotia to expose the troubles that lie at its heart.
Set in a fictional town called Albion Mines, (the old name for author
Leo McKay's home town of Stellarton), Like This offers a gripping, and
at times frightening, look at small-town Nova Scotia life. These superb
stories are startling and often disturbing, filled with complexity and
power. McKay portrays characters with astonishing depth and dead-on
emotional rightness. The world is not fair in these stories. There is
pain, abuse, solitude; but somehow there is also hope.
Featuring a new introduction by Scotiabank Giller Prize-winning author
Lynn Coady.
