Eleven stories, four following the fortunes of the Carette family in Montreal; no quick hits, instead each story an encyclopedia of the characters' psyches and lives; signed by the author, who advises, 'Stories are not chapters of novels. They should not be read one after another, as if they were meant to follow along. Read one. Shut the book. Read something else. Come back later. Stories can wait.'
