Description:
<p><b>Winner of the 2022 Canadian Jewish Literary Award</b></p><p><b>Masterful, hopeful stories about ordinary people taking small, bold steps into the unknown</b></p>
<p>These ten compelling and delightful stories highlight ordinary people, introverts, mostly living quiet lives -- until they take the chance to leap toward small, meaningful adventure. A young woman is given a painting by Picasso by her stepfather, and she must acquire a wall to hang it on. A hippie family picks up a cello-playing hitchhiker who convinces them to get a television. And a man winds up taking his girlfriend’s son on a road trip -- an unexpected expedition for them both.</p>
<p>Filled with a sense of hope, these stories explore the tangled bonds of family and the complex web that holds them together. Cary Fagan is an undisputed master of the short story, and <i>Great Adventures for the Faint of Heart</i> is a brilliant and warm collection that expands our acceptance of human frailty and our unpredictable capacity for change.</p><p><b>Winner of the 2022 Canadian Jewish Literary Award</b></p><p><b>Masterful, hopeful stories about ordinary people taking small, bold steps into the unknown</b></p>
