Employing rich language and tight narratives, George has provided us with a collection that offers a unique, perhaps even at times other worldly, perspective. Utilising styles ranging from poetry to screen plays, and everything in between, these slice-of-of life tales are punctuated throughout with George's dry sense of humour. As to be expected, he covers ground both philosophical and contemplative, offering up a smorgasbord of insightful and thought provoking stories. People from elsewhere, snapshots of lives in passing, immigrants and aboriginals; the mosaic of Canada and life in Vancouver are all lightly interwoven throughout the collection.
