Ten Men Respond to an Air-Brushed Photograph of a Nude Woman Chained to a Bull

by Bonnie Burnard

Genres: General Fiction

Synopsis

Told in micro-short instances of each man’s life, Bonnie Burnard skillfully unravels their various perspectives—from the photographer who took the picture, to a broker at the Vancouver Stock Exchange—and their responses to the vivid image are quite different than one might imagine.

Finalist for the Giller Prize and winner of the Saskatchewan Book of the Year, Casino & Other Stories pulls us beneath the surface of convention into uncharted and often unpredictable emotional territory. Wry and intelligent, humane and touching, Bonnie Burnard’s stories seduce and then surprise us with a sense of the familiar finally understood, and of passion recognized.
