Traplines: Stories — Eden Robinson

A startlingly hip urban novel that tells it like it is, blood, guts and all, Eden Robinson's Trap Lines is a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Full of the raw urgency of a youthful yet clear-eyed voice, this collection of four powerful stories oozes sex and love, alienation, violence and fear in the confused jungle of the adolescent's experience. Robinson is a native writer living in Vancouver and a rising star of the Canadian literary scene, with a sharp humour and remarkably passionate view of the beauty and brutality of the world.
