Description
Bill Gaston's characteristic wit and insight shine in this new collection of short stories. Through the eyes of characters who see the world from unfamiliar perspectives, we are reminded that our own viewpoints can be both a blessing and a curse.
The stories in Juliet Was a Surprise are often darkly playful, absurd, or shockingly real, yet they all share a common thread - an underlying faith in the humanity of even those who may seem most misguided. This is a collection that will make you laugh, but also sometimes feel uncomfortable, as it portrays the humour and unfairness of life through the blunders and crimes of its characters.
