Lane, Patrick Red Dog, Red Dog
Toronto McClelland & Stewart 2008 0771046359 / 9780771046353 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket
Some edge wear to DJ top edge ; A bright, solid book, DJ in protective Mylar sleeve, unclipped. ; 1.2 x 8.5 x 6 Inches; 344 pages; An epic novel of unrequited dreams and forestalled lives, 'Red Dog, Red Dog' is set in the mid-1950s, in a small town in the interior of B.C. in the unnamed Okanagan Valley. The novel focuses on the Stark family, centring on brothers Eddy and Tom, who are bound together by family loyalty and inarticulate love. There is Tom and Eddy’s father, Elmer Stark, a violent man with a troubled past, and Lillian, who married as a girl to escape life on the farm with her widowed mother, and now retreats into her own isolation. Unrepentant, bitter, older brother Eddy speeds freely along, his desperate path fuelled by drugs and weapons, while Tom, a loner, attempts to conceal their secrets and protect what remains of the family. Eventually, an unspeakable crime causes him to come face to face with something traumatic that has lain hidden in him since he was a boy. Narrated in part by one of the dead infant daughters Elmer has buried, the story unfolds gradually, as it weaves in family stories that reach back to the depression days and the harsh life of settlers in the 1880s West. This is also a novel about a small community of people, about complicated loyalties, about betrayals and shifts of power.
