In Peninsula Sinking, David Huebert brings readers an assortment of Maritimers caught between the places they love and the siren call of elsewhere. From submarine officers to prison guards, oil refinery workers to academics, each character in these stories struggles to find some balance of spiritual and emotional grace in the world increasingly on the precipice of ruin. Peninsula Sinking offers up eight urgent and electric meditations on the mysteries of death and life, of grief and love, and never shies away from the joy and horror of our submerging world.
Customer Reviews
Great collection of short stories
David Huebert is one of today’s greatest short story writers. This collection was funny, sad, gripping, intelligent and beautifully written. I bought copies of this book for everyone I know for Xmas. I can’t wait to read what he writes next.
