| book description |

A new collection of stories by Scotiabank Giller Prize finalist Gary Barwin that puts the fab in fabulist. Scandal at the Alphorn Factory: New and Selected Short Fiction, 1984â€“2024 couples brand new and uncollected stories with selections of the most playful and ambitious of Barwinâ€™s previous collections, including Cruelty to Fabulous Animals, Big Red Baby, Doctor Weep and Other Strange Teeth, and I, Dr. Greenblatt, Orthodontist, 251â€“1457. Barwinâ€™s prose kicks against short fictionâ€™s more traditional forms: these are pieces that flirt with poetry and playwriting. Whole storiesâ€”and worldsâ€”are packed into single compact paragraphs. There are narrators and fleas and lists and imperatives and Hitlerâ€™s moustache and radiant happiness. Known as a â€œwhiz-bang storytellerâ€ who can deliver magical, dream-like sequences and truisms about the human condition in the same paragraph, Barwinâ€™s trademark brilliance, wit, and originality are on display in this canâ€™t-miss collection of short fiction.
