Winter Road

by Wayne Curtis

Winter Road is the latest collection of short stories by one of Canada's most gifted and accomplished storytellers. An award-winning master craftsman of short fiction, Wayne Curtis takes us on a journey from early schooldays to old age, all in a singular rural New Brunswick setting of times gone by.

Here are illuminating stories of love, heartbreak, daydreams, and expectations - fulfilled and unfulfilled. Curtis charts the lives of small-town boys and girls, men and women who struggle with the challenges and limitations of poverty, isolation, and a kind of discrimination rarely documented in fiction.

Each work is marked by the insight of a veteran author whose life has been dedicated to the creation of a singular fictional world unique to the Maritimes but universal in its echoes of the unending longing of the human spirit. It is a world where dreams are born and die and sometimes live on despite the odds.

[Chris]

Beautifully skillful writing, nostalgic but not sentimental, in fact unflinchingly honest about the pros and cons of rural life and aging.

[James Fisher · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another classic from Wayne Curtis. Nuff said.
