Description:
<p><strong>Danuta Gleed Literary Award finalist</strong></p><p><strong>City of Victoria Butler Book Prize finalist</strong></p><p>Intensely imaginative and darkly emotional, the weird and wonderful stories in <em>Double Dutch</em> deftly alternate between fantasy and reality, transporting readers into strange worlds that are at once both familiar and uncanny — where animals are more human, and people more mysterious, than they first appear.</p><p>Shape-shifters, doppelgangers, and spirits inhabit the extraordinary worlds depicted in Trunkey’s stories: a single mother believes her toddler is the reincarnation of a terrorist; Ronald Reagan’s body double falls in love with the first lady; a man grieves for his wife after a bear takes over her body. The collection also includes moving tales grounded in painful and touching reality: a young deaf girl visits Niagara Falls before she goes blind; an elephant named Topsy is killed on Coney Island by Thomas Edison in 1903; and a woman learns the truth about her son’s disappearance while searching with her husband in the Canadian Rockies.</p><p>This enchanting and, at times, heartbreaking debut collection of stories hails the arrival of an exceptional new literary talent.</p>
