Carnival Glass

By Bonnie Dunlop

Carnival Glass, Bonnie Dunlop's new fiction collection, is an examination of the infirmity of human relationships -- marriages, brotherhood, friendships, parent-child relations hindered by negligence and death -- and how strange providence can send a sane and settled person entirely off the rails. These stories honour how we love and take care of each other, and how, inevitably, we fail each other too.

Dunlop's settings -- dusty ranches, near-ghost towns of Southwest Saskatchewan, infinite beaches of Tofino, BC, small prairie cities in the 60s and exotic locales of contemporary Mexico-- are built with a quiet grace and familiarity and remain integral to her stories. It is with such detail that the assured writing in Carnival Glass situates award-winning author Bonnie Dunlop as a contending voice for women's fiction.
