Baie Comeau Angel

by Wilfred Watson

In Watson's stories, the fantastic unmasks the real. God visits lice on the Bishop of Edmonton and they pick his bones clean; cities and continents double and quadruple; a witch encases her daughter in a glass box and sends empty pick-ups careening murderously around the country; each time John Turner shoots the Prime Minister, a Baie-Cameau angel replicates Mulroney with the help of cake-baking instructions from the Virgin Mary. Watson is a satirist for the times, turning such humourous and fantastic situations into stories with a moral edge -- stories which point to the cynicism and tenderness of the human heart and hwich cast a cold eye on what is most corrupt in our political lives.
