Decades later, when he sees his childhood home being moved on a truck down the highway, he begins a quest to research the history of his hometown and of his family. Seep is being dismantled, and the land is being redeveloped as a master-planned recreational townsite to complement a nearby First Nations casino. And then his brother Darryl arrives on his doorstep with the force of a bus crash. In the face of the town's erasure, he tries to preserve its stories; so doing, he comes to question his own.\u0026amp;nbspSeep limns the tension between land development and landscape, trauma and nostalgia, dysfunction and intimacy in a narrative of twenty-first century Canada.  Praise for Seep: \"Mark Giles assuredly steps  in the footsteps of his predecessors who so engagingly limned the Alberta prairie: W.O. Mitchell,  Henry Kreisel,W.P. Kinsella, and Robert Kroetsch. Giles' Seep is a wickedly wonderful account of how our senses of self and of place can be interrelated, with the swirl of emotions involved in each part of the equation making for a complicated world and illuminating fiction.\" (Tom Wayman)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55659153162614,"sku":"9781772140125","price":11.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_34589304_b6ce0d92-6230-4ce8-95d5-d7d46a079147.jpg?v=1748465737","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781772140125-seep","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
