商品簡介
商品簡介
Fiction. MIRROR ON THE FLOOR was first published in 1967 by McClelland and Stewart, the first novel from a young writer named George Bowering. Now with over 100 publications to his credit, we are proud to be reissuing Bowering's debut novel.
Set in Vancouver, the novel focuses on one summer in the life of UBC graduate student Bob Small and his roommate, George Delsing, as they study, smoke cigarettes, endure tedious summer jobs, joust one another with philosophical banter and literary repartee, and strike out on near nightly adventures in Small's "poor old over- traveled yellow Morris Minor" to the pubs and late-night diners of East Hastings and Main Street.
They spend much of their time carousing and engaging in conversation with the old-timers, retired seamen, dockworkers, and unemployed loggers. And it is on one such night that Bob Small encounters a mysterious and troubled young woman outside the city lock-up. Her name is Andrea and he can't seem to shake—or understand—the inexplicable attraction he feels for her; and from this night on, like an apparition, Andrea appears everywhere: the library, the coffee houses, the bars, the street, and Bob Small is slowly and inevitably pulled into her orbit, an orbit that spins on a tragic and ever- tightening inward coil.
MIRROR ON THE FLOOR vividly evokes the Vancouver of the mid-to- late 60s, a Vancouver where neon signs still shimmered on the rain- soaked streets of the Downtown Eastside and Granville Street bustled with movie-goers.
