It 's written by Craig Davidson , who I gather is some young neo - Hemmingway type out of Calgary , although his short stories centered mainly around St. Catharines and the low lifes who inhabit the place . I liked the book , although it was quite depressing and some of the stories were very tough to read . There was one particularly graphic depiction of dog fighting that I could barely finish and the entirety of the book was pretty sad . That said , it was a worthwhile read and the author was pretty good at picking the most excruciating characters and situations , although it did n't say much about my mom 's new home city . I also finished " On Her Majesty 's Secret Service " , which was a good read and reminded me why I like reading Ian Fleming . OPTIONS:
