About This Book

Here are twenty-one user-friendly tales, set in the Okanagan Valley, Austria, Washington, Nanaimo, the Yukon, Iceland, Germany, the future — and Daphne's Lunch Diner. The Rain Barrel is George Bowering's first collection of short stories since 1983. Ten years in the making, these stories display Bowering's meticulous attention to the details of his craft and his enormous sympathy for the increasingly precarious predicament of the twentieth-century reader.
