SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Lisa Moore

Longlisted for the Giller Prize

Taking us from the Fjord of Eternity to the streets of St. John's and the swamps of Orlando, the stories in this collection show us the timeless,
the tragic, and the miraculous hidden in the underbelly of our everyday lives. A missing rock god may have jumped a cruise ship - in the Arctic. A grieving young woman may live next to a serial rapist. A man's last day on earth replays in the minds of others in a furiously sensual, heartrending fugue. Something for Everyone finds Moore fired with peak ambition - she seems bent on nothing less than rewiring the circuitry of the short story itself.

[...] Moore takes her characters to some undeniably dark places in these stories, though the book is never entirely devoid of humour or hope. And there is abiding joy in the prose, which is lithe and tensile in equal measure. There is astonishment here, and grit, and beauty that is close to breathtaking. - Quill & Quire, STARRED REVIEW Read more...
