Indigenous Beasts

Disturbing, energetic, and uncommonly insightful, these chilling stories peer into the lives of men from young men struggling to maturity to old men realizing that youth is gone that attract even as they repel. Intriguing, seductive, sometimes despicable, they're lost in their efforts to make sense of their relationships, both with the women in their lives girlfriends, mothers, strippers and the men fathers, coworkers, dealers. The stories are savage and seething, intense with despair and depravity. They're bloody and beautiful and full of wisdom discovered by pathetic heroes that lurch toward a truce with some unattainable and off-kilter moral standard. They're also perfectly crafted, with a keen sense of place. An extraordinary debut from a young Canadian writer,Indigenous Beastsreveals a cultural identity that mirrors the Canadian landscape: raw, elementary, and strangely beautiful.Sellyn, Nathan is the author of 'Indigenous Beasts ', published 2007 under ISBN 9781551929279 and ISBN 1551929279.
