From his early days as a awkward child in thick glasses meeting the local nudists, to a “he-man” wrestling a giant octopus out of his boat, Grant Lawrence writes stories of his life in Desolation Sound on the West Coast that are great to read. Sometimes his humour reminded me of Jerry Lewis, sometimes of David Sedaris. His historical portraits of the people who have lived there can be strange or unsettling, but always interesting. Highly recommended. (submitted by AMW)
