Coles Alt Sagas: Stories at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Like the stories told by speculative fiction masters Ray Bradbury and Margaret Atwood, ALT SAGAS bends genres to unfold the quandaries of our lives. Tragically displaced loyalty, a weird pocket of a forever war, aging, faith, revolution, the perils of revenge magic and of physical nonconformity, and more are explored on worlds strange, yet eerily familiar.
"Huets is an endlessly inventive writer, grounding speculations about the future in well-researched mythologies of the past as we know it. In these five tour-de-force tales, space crusaders and lonely Calibans sift through the cultural rubble on a hunt for hope and connection. Where personal history is written in tattoos and scars, the transcendent narratives of capital-H History are often literary, and they bring Big Events home to the heart: a Norse saga, a Shakespearean tragedy, a Wild West showdown. Huets' imaginative takes on our cultural touchstones help to explain how we crashed our way into a frightening future; they also promise that we are more than the sum of our technology and our losses." — Susann Cokal, The Kingdom of Little Wounds and Breath and Bones
"A fresh, smart and highly entertaining story collection." — Fred Leebron, The News Said It Was
