Foreign affairs
The diversity of characters and approaches to storytelling in Foreign Affairs makes for a very compelling collection of prose. The first story, “Waiting,” enters the mind of a Vancouver Hindu who is a waiter in a high class French restaurant. “The Emerald City” unravels the turmoil of an adulterous TV gardening show host. “Teeth” is about a fatal camping expedition by two retired brothers in mobile homes who encounter a bizarre sect in the woods north of Pemberton. The eponymous “Foreign Affairs” succeeds in making attractive the complex problems of a frustrated invalid and the confused social alienation of his waifish, punk-haired companion. These stories show a remarkable side of Vancouver and the world through Fraser’s stunning prose.
