Burn Man: Selected Stories

by Mark Anthony Jarman

(Biblioasis, paperback, 2023)

Available October 10, 2023

The best collected short fiction of Mark Anthony Jarman published over the last four decades.

"In these 21 selected tales by Jarman--a Canadian writer who, if there were any literary justice, would be much better known in the U.S.--marginalized men are on the road, on the run, failing to figure out how to stay in one place, how to stay sane, how to pin life down and make sense of it. [...] Literature at the highest level: heartrending, disquieting, fascinating."
--Kirkus Reviews (starred)
