Description
Book SynopsisLonglisted for the 2016 Giller Prize "[Page] is a fierce writer."--Kirkus Reviews The stories in this collection focus on pairs: intense one-on-one relationships and encounters. Characters undergo genetic testing, garden, overeat, starve themselves, travel, fall pregnant, all while simultaneously driving each other towards moments where they--sometimes unwillingly--glimpse the meaning and shape of their lives, and who they might become. Kathy Page is the author of eight books, including the novels Alphabet (an Indie Next Great Read of 2014 and Kirkus Best Book of 2014), Frankie Styne & the Silver Man, and The Story of My Face, as well as many short stories.
Trade Review"Deceptively expansive short stories...her ability to find little frissons of shock or recognition in situations just this side of mundane marks her as a significant miniaturist..."--Quill & Quire "The Two of Us contains stories about pairs, couples, dyads--mainly intense one-on-one relationships... [and] her duos are all united by a primal desire for intimacy."--BC Booklook "...refreshing and true to life."--McGill Daily
