| Helen Weinzwig is one of Canada's most original writers of fiction. In A View from the Roof, she brings together a collection of stories which displays a mordant wit and a rare ability to delve into the magical theatre of the human mind. In these stories, set in Toronto, New York and exotic locations scattered throughout South America and western Europe, Weinzweig writes about men and women in search of their past, erotic encounters in strange locations, and the perils of domestic malaise. Blending real and invented histories with the vivid details of place, she captures a world which is at once real and illusory, where past and present slip seamlessly into dreams and memories. By times haunting, hilarious, compassionate and disquieting A View from the Roof is a remarkably deft collection of short fiction which deserves to be read and savoured. |
