Trade Review

‘Gowdy is a writer now emerging as one of Canada’s most accomplished and outrageous… We So Seldom Look on Love will only deepen her reputation for fine technique and alarming content. These are unsettling and profoundly moving short stories to be read, and reread, and then to be dreamt upon… this is a remarkable and uplifting book.’
Toronto Globe and Mail

‘Barbara Gowdy’s stunning collection plants her firmly in the constellation of Canada’s bright literary lights… in this new set of stories she truly shines. Her insatiable curiousity, her candour and her cool wit emerge like chrysalids from the assembled deformity of this lively and memorable book.’
Montreal Gazette
