Boundary Country
Tom Wayman,
Publisher: Eastern Washington University Press
ISBN: 1597660299   Edition: Paperback; 2007-04-30

Summary:

Boundary Country is a collection of fablelike short fiction, a
hitchhiker's guide to the quirks and foibles of those who live in
British Columbia's distinctive Kootenay mountain region. The stories
reflect Wayman's interest in capturing those precise moments where
history becomes memory, desire is transformed into belief, and where
some locale or condition shifts and we name it a boundary. Deploying
a heady mix of settlers' descendants, resource industry employees,
back-to-the-landers, adn the new wave of transplanted urban
professionals, Wayman's narratives capture thsoe voices in near
perfect pitch--their personalities echoing their geography, their
substance steeped in authenticity, and their collective truth
reminding us that the only true wilderness that remains is within
ourselves.
