The Photographer in Search of Death
$19.95
“Toronto writer Michael Mirolla has long been noted for his skill in bending language around a stream of unconsciousness. And in his latest short story collection, The Photographer in Search of Death, he does just that. The ten-story ensemble takes the reader through different canvases of Mirolla’s mind. On each, he daubs rich colours of plot, characters and voice, sometimes lighthearted, more often macabre but uniformly intriguing… Michael Mirolla is an exceptionally talented writer, and many aspiring writers could learn much from his ability to fuse the magical with the real.” —Ottawa Review of Books
Michael Mirolla tells us stories that blend the explicable with the inexplicable. As if a camel were actually passing through the eye of a needle, these stories pass what is commonplace through a hyper-realistic lens into the utterly mysterious. Houses have rooms that appear and disappear. Very real objects, invaded by an unbelievable force, become believably unreal. Streets filled with everyday individuals become – in our modern technological environment – ultra ordinary. What we wish to avoid becomes unavoidable. This is a world beyond the merely “magical” – this is a binary world of becoming.
