Synopsis

Following the enormous success of CanalWatch, Ken Rivard reaffirms his place as an original master of flash fiction with Up Front - an electrifying collection of flash fiction stories, each approximately 500 words in length, that are based on actual events that occurred during the beginning and ending years in an inner-city, secondary school. Each story attempts to capture the energy of a specific moment in the real lives of adolescents while pulsating with the raw energy and emotion of these young lives. Some stories ingeniously loop back on themselves, with the final line echoing the opening, creating a captivating narrative frame.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Ken Rivard was born and raised on a working-class Montreal street inhabited more by rats than people. He was surrounded by fields, factories, railroad tracks, and trains where, as a kid, he played endlessly with almost no adult supervision. It was heaven. Later he earned a Master's Degree from McGill University and taught at all levels including Mount Royal University in Calgary. Mostly because of the expansive Alberta sky, the sunshine, and the Rocky Mountains, he has been living and writing in Calgary for many years.
