Conspicuous Accents is a must-have volume for anyone who loves to read short fiction! Forty-two literary gems that are conspicuous by their power to move the reader. Some are serious, others are romantic, others still are grim; some are introspective, others comical, and some combine different elements that defy categorization. The settings are also diverse: Canada and Italy dominate, but readers will delight in the multiplicity of geographical and physical locations ? the canals of Venice, a deserted park in an otherwise crowded Toronto, the sky over Beijing, the edge of Mount Vesuvius, a toilet in Perugia, a confessional in a church in Florence. The characters we encounter run the gamut of human behaviour: some are sensitive and sympathetic, others are vile and not the type to associate with ? but all, just like the stories, reveal something about humanity and ultimately about ourselves.
