In this provocative collection of short
stories, Karen Hofmann creates characters who struggle to connect or disconnect
from entanglements and relationships. With ironic accuracy and sensuous
imagery, Hofmann considers a range of human foibles: a newlywed couple who
transform into feral beasts during the hardships of a remote research
expedition; backbiting faculty members who strip down during a post-conference
BBQ; an heretical nun who explores the possibility of a new life by
imaginatively excavating the fossils of BC's Burgess Shale; and an ambitious
bylaw officer determined to make her mark on the city's
streets.
In Echolocation, Karen
Hofmann has found new ways to sound the depths of the human heart.
