New: New. No dust jacket as issued. Trade paperback (US). 224 p. Book Description: NOW IN PAPERBACK, this masterfully crafted story collection by the author of the internationally best-selling novel Mister Sandman is a haunting book that is certain to both disturb and entertain. With a particular focus on obsession and the abnormal, We So Seldom Look On Love explores life at its quirky extremes, pushing past limits of convention into lives that are fantastic and heartbreakingly real. Whether writing about the dilemma of a two-headed man who attempts to expunge his own pain, the shock of a woman who discovers she has married a transsexual, the erotic delusions of a woman who repeatedly exposes her body to an unknown voyeur, or the bizarre predilections of a female necrophile (a story made into the acclaimed motion picture, "Kissed"), Gowdy convinces us with incisive detail, only to disarm us with black humor. In reviewing the book in the Boston Globe, the novelist Carol Shields wrote, "Barbara Gowdy invites herself, and us, into taboo territory where love and disgust mingle freely. Nothing seems to hold back the narrative flow, not propriety, not politics, not even that ambiguity we once called good taste...Gowdy writes about the macabre, but she writes like an angel. " Ingram: Whether expounding upon the dilemma of a two-headed man who attempts to expunge his own pain, the shock of a woman who discovers she has married a transsexual, or the bizarre predictions of a female necrophile, these stories convince readers with incisive detail, only to disarm them suddenly with black humor. The title story of this collection has been made into the motion picture Kissed, which was a hit at the Toronto Film Festival. About the Author: BARBARA GOWDY is an award-winning author whose books haveappeared on bestseller lists throughout the world. The recipient of the MarianEngel Award, she has been a finalist for the Rogers Writers Trust FictionPrize, the Giller Prize and the Governor General s Award for Fiction, amongothers. She lives in...
