<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The stories in Vermin are linked by themes of loss, longing and music: a restaurant server in a Tofino restaurant reflects on the nature of men in her past and present; a woman prepares to marry a brooding artist unpopular with both her parents and her small town community; a new homeowner has strange encounters with a previous owner who is struggling to let go. Stories in this collection have appeared in Joyland, The Saturday Evening Post, Room, The Antigonish Review and other journals and anthologies.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"These are well-made stories that offer convincingly conflicted characters. A hospitable, entertaining read." --<i>Alberta Views</i><br><br>"<i>Vermin</i> is an immersive collection of short stories that demonstrate a notable breadth of talented writing." --Anne Logan, <i> I've Read This</i><br><br><p>"...part of the strength in Hahnel's often funny, occasionally sad and always intriguing collection is that they take readers in all sorts of directions." --<i>Calgary Herald </i></p><br><br>"In these stories, Lori Hahnel reimagines the subject of love... Writing with classical dispassion, she doesn't moralize, disapprove or romanticize. Instead, she sees and selects and exposes the wilderness of the human heart." --Cecelia Frey, Author of <i>Lovers Fall Back To Earth</i> and recipient of the Golden Pen Lifetime Achievement Award<br><br>"Hahnel is keenly aware of the daily suffering of life, and once in a while, of the sought-for moments of forgetfulness of a troubled place, or of a desperate, short-lived bliss. But there are no lyric flights here, the prose is unadorned, straight-forward and clear, what is unsaid often more important than what is, and her characters are on the move, often aimlessly, from one unsatisfactory situation to another, while their friends become drifters and vanish and reappear and vanish again. These are touching, gentle stories about the lives of women and girls who aren't lucky in their beginnings or backgrounds, nor particularly wise, and yet, their stories, with their rare and tiny triumphs, resonate." --Sharon Butala, Author of <i>Season of Fury</i> and <i>Wonder</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>LORI HAHNEL is the author of two novels, Love Minus Zero and After You've Gone, as well as a story collection, Nothing Sacred, which was shortlisted for an Alberta Literary Award.
