The Komodo Dragon and Other Stories

"The diversity of theme, voice and setting in the nine stories that make up Douglas Arthur Brown's collection, show his versatility as a writer of fiction. Brown's edgy treatment of cultural difference, forgiveness, marriage, infidelity, moral/ethical issues, myth and death is sometimes poignant, sometimes disturbing. From the woman and man pursuing love in foreign lands, to boys navigating the rough terrain of family life and friendship, Brown's characters take us beyond the boundaries of regional literature - from Glace Bay to Toronto, Denmark, Italy, Macedonia and China. These widely divergent stories are nonetheless unified by a single theme: the universal human need for connection with other human beings."--BOOK JACKET.
