reviewed Loose End on June 23, 2019 Loose End
Finally, I snuck in another Fallback. Loose End is a collection of short stories published in 2005. I've been wanting to read Ivan Coyote for quite some time and was not disappointed. Very sharp writing, potent bursts of real but messy life told from the perspective of a "gender expanding" individual.
I'm not one for short stories but these worked for me, quick word pictures of day to day moments, mostly in Vancouver, amongst the blue collar world and the artist doing her thing for the essence rather than a big dollar payoff. I loved the author's smart, crisp voice. Loved her affectionate tone towards the frailty and flaws of imperfect family, friends, and even strangers. Also, appreciated the compassion felt towards the lgbtq kids just finding their way. If you like poignant vignettes of people in ordinary situations told with a skilled hand, this book's for you. I do so I'm loading up on more of her stories.
