The stories in The Nigth Piece reveal worlds both familiar and deeply strange. Taking us from Ottawa where «The Wild is a green mortuary» to Toronto where «it would be winter for eternity,» this collection showcases the work of an award-winning writer with unparalleled imagination.
Bringing together twenty-four storie written between the early 1990s and 2015, this volume includes Alexis’s accalaimed debut, Despair and Other Stories of Ottawa, in its entirety; selections from the highly original Beauty and Sadness, and the novella A, along with published and previously unpublished work.
