There Can Never be Enough
Includes previously published short stories.
The Happiest Man in the World and Other Stories
A hilarious yet compassionate look at the new male consciousness taking shape in a post-feminist" world.
If Pigs Could Fly
Written in three parts, master storyteller Arnason's second volume of fractured prairie tales includes political fables, Ukrainian tales and fabulations, leaving no stone unturned in his parody of Canada's political and cultural landscape."Fairy tales on speed make great fiction."--Rob McLennan, The Ottawa Express
The Pagan Wall
From one of Canada's master storytellers comes this murder mystery set in Alsatia and the Rhineland.
The Demon Lover
In this highly entertaining collection, Arnason employs all of his powers as a humorist and as a scholar intimate with North American and Icelandic mythology and culture. Whether set in a chilly Canadian city or an ancient Icelandic village, each story takes on an epic tone and suggests that there is a higher power hard at play, toying with people's destiny for its own amusement. Arnason's serpentine demon lover seduces and tempts women with his own style of forbidden fruit. His narrator considers the fate of lovers in an overturned canoe. And giants of incredible strength populate a remote and dying Icelandic village. Spanning worlds both mythological and real, the stories are recounted from an all-knowing--but not always all-revealing--perspective.
Skrag
Poems that take the skin off emotion, let laughs out like hens from the roost: Skrag, farm mongrel, springs to the whistle in bony narrative, endearing as the musk he charms and obeys; “Descartes & Dick,” mad-cap Western, turns Descartes loose on a plane of rustic lunacies where cowboys attend closely upon ladies and the finer points of grammar; lyrics, including “The Cottage Poems,” stray through a landscape of pain and rejoicing where those who wait are sustained by the smallest miracles.
The Circus Performers' Bar
Witty and formally innovative stories that examine social, political and sexual assumptions with an ironic eye.
