Inhaltsangabe
Intriguing glimpses into urban life along a mysterious canal. Ken Rivard's CanalWatch offers a collection of flash fiction that explores the human condition through brief encounters and vivid snapshots of life along an urban waterway. Each story, approximately 500 words, captures a passing image, overheard conversation, or fleeting moment, inviting readers to contemplate the ordinary and the extraordinary.
Through a diverse cast of characters—homeless individuals, urban dwellers, and everyday people—Rivard delves into themes of social isolation, the search for meaning, and the complexities of relationships. With a blend of empathy, melancholy, and hope, these stories evoke a range of emotions, prompting reflection on the art of wondering and the resilience of the human spirit. Perfect for readers seeking contemporary, thought-provoking fiction from a Canadian perspective.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Ken Rivard was born and raised on a working-class Montreal street inhabited more by rats than people. He was surrounded by fields, factories, railroad tracks, and trains where, as a kid, he played endlessly with almost no adult supervision. It was heaven. Later he earned a Master’s Degree from McGill University and taught at all levels including Mount Royal University in Calgary. Mostly because of the expansive Alberta sky, the sunshine, and the Rocky Mountains, he has been living and writing in Calgary for many years.

Paperback. Zustand: New. A major collection of superb "flash fiction" writing by one of Canada's best authors. Ken Rivard has published two collections of poetry and eight collections of fiction during his literary career. "CanalWatch is a collection of flash fiction written over numerous visits to Ohau, the man made waterway in Honolulu which serves as the dividing line of Waikiki on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Each story is based on the passing image of a particular person, place, event, object or overheard conversation (whether real or imagined ) in or around the La Wai Canal. Readers are invited to sit in the brief story moment of each flash fiction peice. Most times each narrative turns back on itself with the first line of this story also becoming the last line, resulting in a kind of story portrait.Occasionally, readers may be asked to suspend their disbelief. Other times, the point in time being described may appear to be too real to be untrue. Often, a particular idea or image simply asks 'what if?' Then the story takes off and brings the readers along for the ride. Enjoy the "what if's" and the "not so what if's." -Ken Rivard, from the Introduction.
