Description
Nick Faragher's psychologically quirky and sometimes darkly engrossing fictions plunge the reader into the edgy minds of distracted characters. Set in Greece, Italy, the French Alps and Vancouver's Stanley Park, Faragher's stories achieve a cosmopolitan flair while remaining distinctly Canadian.
Faragher's debut deftly combines sharp?witted narration, psychological twists, and an assembly of maladjusted characters whose dark desires governs their fates. The Well & Other Stories offers a safe vantage point to vicariously witness these dramas and allows an indulgent glimpse into those human entanglements that create voyeuristic tension.
About the author
NICK FARAGHER has lived in many different countries including Greece, Italy and France. These locales inform and inspire the fiction in this first collection. His writing also has its roots in the years he worked preparing personality profiles of psychiatric patients and sex offenders for criminal courts in his employment in probation/parole correction. A wider more diverse audience was reached with articles for national, provincial and local magazines and newspapers.
