Half brothers and other stories : a novella and four fictions / Bill Stenson. by Stenson, Bill, 1949- Mother Tongue Publishing, 2021. Call #: FICTION STE Subjects Half-brothers -- Fiction.   Small town life -- Fiction.   Cowichan Valley (B.C.) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781896949857 (pbk.) Description:  163 p. ; 18 cm. Contents:  Four fictions. Ball and chain -- Bon -- Dick and Jane -- Super reader -- A novella. Half brothers. Summary:  These stories shimmer in summer heat under the gaze of a two-humped mountain and belong to the Cowichan Valley. Children born to ex-cons, lawyers, longshoremen, wood carvers, investors and gamblers write their own new-generation stories, at times melodic, often discordant, always determined to carry a tune. Half Brothers is a masterly and unsentimental novella of the lives of two brothers left unchanneled by parental review. One brother is tough and likes to fight, the other does not. One is the father's favourite and the other hides when he can. But in an extraordinary reversal of roles, and as the years pass, readers ultimately learn which one has the true grit. In the four short stories; Ball and Chain, Bon, Dick and Jane and Super Reader, Stenson uses wry wit to capture the voices of the young and old of small-town Duncan and area, in edgy juxtapositions. Genre:  Short stories. Short stories, Canadian. Novellas. Canadian fiction.
