The Boy On The Road and Other Stories by Doris Ray, winner of the BC 2000 Book Award for The Ghosts Behind Him, is a celebration of daily living in northern BC. This collection of short stories illustrates the author's talent for revealing the human condition. Her descriptions take the reader directly into scenarios ranging from science fiction anomalies and deadbeat bar rooms to confrontations with life and death.The characterizations vividly portray northerners and I was delighted with the combination of wit, earthiness and pathos reflected in her stories. -Vivian Cipryk, avid reader and short story writer. |
