An eclectic mix: Seeing the Mountain and other stories

This is indeed an eclectic mix: 13 stories with different tones, hues, purposes and characters. A bildungsroman in which a young man confronts some monumental truths about himself, a re-imagined history in which an Aboriginal youth with a gift for clairvoyance makes the ultimate sacrifice, a series of linked tales where questions are asked about just what makes someone crazy, and a sci -fi'ish piece where the camera narrates an account of a future reality show hosting an execution of mass murderer that goes wrong.... There's even a semi-autobiographical tale of a fisherman who risks freezing to retrieve a lure (it's a matter of principle). Something for everyone, we hope.
