A dazzling first collection of short fiction from one of Canada's most accomplished poets. The twenty-two incandescent tales in Crow Jazz reveal clever crow energy;bird's-eye views of the new human community. Shape-changing characters, child survivors of adult narcissism and social alienation, eat crow and reinvent themselves to fit aspirational narratives through mirth, rebirth and compassion. They lift off in pairs: sisters, brothers, twins, partners in love. Like modern fairy tales, these stories bewitch and astonish as they are retold, become corvid gossip, improvisation, syncopation, all that jazz, every voice unique. Linda Roger's quirky and brilliant short fiction collection is a wild breath of fresh air for literary Canada. Views: 30
