Thomas King
Acclaimed author Thomas King is in fabulous, fantastical form in this bestselling short story collection. From the surreal migrations of the title story to the misadventures of Coyote in the modern world and the chaos of a baby's unexpected arrival by airmail, King's tales are deft, hilarious and provocative. (From HarperCollins)
From the book
Can't sleep, Bob Haynie tells the doorman at the King Eddie. Can't sleep, can't sleep.
First time in Toronto? says the doorman.
Yes, says Bob.
Businessman?
Yes.
Looking for some excitement?
Yes.
Bay street, sir, says the doorman.
