{"product_id":"seep-9781772140125","title":"Seep","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDwight Eliot was born on a baseball diamond, during a dugout-clearing brawl between his hometown team, The Seep Selects, and a team of barnstorming Cuban All Stars. Decades later, when he sees his childhood home being moved on a truck down the highway, he begins a quest to research the history of his hometown and of his family. Seep is being dismantled, and the land is being redeveloped as a master-planned recreational townsite to complement a nearby First Nations casino. And then his brother Darryl arrives on his doorstep with the force of a bus crash. In the face of the town''s erasure, he tries to preserve its stories; so doing, he comes to question his own.\u0026amp;nbspSeep limns the tension between land development and landscape, trauma and nostalgia, dysfunction and intimacy in a narrative of twenty-first century Canada.  Praise for Seep: Mark Giles assuredly steps  in the footsteps of his predecessors who so engagingly limned the Alberta prairie: W.O. Mitchell,  Henry Kreisel,W.P. Kinsella, and Robert Kroetsch. Giles'' Seep is a wickedly wonderful account of how our senses of self and of place can be interrelated, with the swirl of emotions involved in each part of the equation making for a complicated world and illuminating fiction.
