Description
With his first short story collection, The Olive and the Dawn, earning comparisons to Ondaatje and Cohen, Ian Orti returns with his third book and second collection of short stories. Part myth-making, part art-in-the-act-of-forgetting, Royal Mountain City Fugue takes its cues from the Bible, small town Canada, Montreal and Armageddon, unveiling a new cast of Orti's favourite kind of characters: those who are so much larger than life that they barely get noticed by ordinary people.
