A Few Sharp Sticks (Trade Paper) - Paperback

by Brian Dedora (Author)

"This novel/this poem/this manifesto/this encyclopedia/this essay/this inkblot/ this memoir is the latest installment in Brian Dedora's increasingly audacious -experiments in narrative. Unflinchingly, he explores the possibilities of a gay -perspective while exploding the assumptions of a straight alphabet. A Few Sharp Sticks will be a different book for every reader...'" - STUART ROSS, author of Snowball, Dragonfly, Jew "...here are twenty-six sharp sticks, riffs on sentences from a law book on voluntary associations, each begetting its (lower-case) companion, together generating a loose set of not-quite-voluntary associations, little time-bombs... Brian Dedora has crafted a genuine contribution not just to the body (and mind ) of Gay writing, but to Canadian writing and indeed to writing itself. A Few Sharp Sticks teaches us something of how to lead our lives, how to feel, how to think." - PETER QUARTERMAIN, Emeritus Professor of English
