Religious & spiritual fiction : Short stories |
| Two men freeze solid during a blizzard, their bodies posed until spring. A minister discovers his wife's Internet infidelities. A former nun discusses "Hanging up the Habit" on a talk show. A ski jumper takes off . . . and never lands. In an unmistakable chorus of Atlantic accents, Running the Whale's Back offers a host of stories from Eastern Canada's brightest literary talents. Exploring the precarious terrain of faith and doubt, these authors pen rough-hewn, weather-beaten accounts of spirituality and religion. Consider yourself forewarned: there's grit in these stories. The authors poke and prod, unearthing philosophies and leitmotifs rarely examined. As they leap from subject to subject, surfacing and diving, we encounter intense ruminations on life and death, morality and immorality, peace and desire â and even a miracle or two. |
