The beggar's garden : stories

Christie, Michael 1976- (Author).

Summary: "Brilliantly sure-footed, strikingly original, tender, and funny, this memorable collection of nine linked stories follows a diverse group of curiously interrelated characters - from bank manager to crackhead to retired Samaritan to mental patient to web designer to car thief - as they drift through each other's lives like ghosts in Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside. A powerful and affecting debut. Canadian author."--Publisher.
