These stories are uniformly thought-provoking
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
An impressive anthology of eighteen short and succinct mysteries by author John Salter, Alberta Clipper captures small-town America as seen through the lens of a surreal, extraordinary subtext to ordinary lives. Each a small gem of the storytelling arts, these original tales range from Shoshone Insurance; Three Drum Theories; and Reverse Prototype; to The New Territory; Sea-Mist; and the title piece, Alberta Clipper. These stories are uniformly thought-provoking, laced with sardonic humor, and compellingly written vignettes of human life make Alberta Clipper a collection to remember, and especially recommended reading for the mystery buff.
