All Lit Up Book Club SelectionIn this provocative collection of short stories, Karen Hofmann creates characters who struggle to connect or disconnect from entanglements and relationships. With ironic accuracy and sensuous imagery, Hofmann considers a range of human foibles: a newlywed couple who transform into feral beasts during the hardships of a remote research expedition; backbiting faculty members who strip down during a post-conference BBQ; an heretical nun who explores the possibility of a new life by imaginatively excavating the fossils of BCs Burgess Shale; and an ambitious bylaw officer determined to make her mark on the citys streets.In Echolocation, Karen Hofmann has found new ways to sound the depths of the human heart.
