Join the Owl's Nest staff in congratulating Calgary author Marion Douglas on the publication of her fourth novel. Marion's short fiction has been published in The Journey Prize Anthology, Prism, Grain, and the The Capilano Review among other journals and literary reviews.
Set in 1970, Dance Hall Road examines adolesc...ence and adulthood, friendship and family within the ricochet of events through small-town life. When the death of another high school student pushes the Town into collective despair, harsh gossip and casually dropped pellets of blame take seed. Currents of anger and frustration are, in turn, meted out in the scapegoating of those who are decidedly different.
With a keen sense of the human experience, Marion Douglas portrays her characters with unflinching empathy. Evocative and multi-layered, Dance Hall Road invokes the contradictions of connection within the tenuous balance of regret and hope.
Launch of Marion Douglas's fourth novel
