| Summary: | "Telescope is a story cycle about Lawrence Teitel, the protagonist of Living Room (Boheme Press, 2001). In this set of stories, we follow Lawrence from the ages of twelve to seventeen or so. A telescope is a device to see distant objects, and the collection deals with seeing distances: above all, the growing distancing of Lawrence's family as they cope with new challenges and Lawrence's own maturation, physical and spiritual. Through the course of the stories, he is distanced from his father, who struggles to pay the bills by running his own bookkeeping business in the house's basement; his sister, who is growing up and away; and his mother, whom he thinks he knows but does not. The cycle is made up of nine stories--just like Living Room--each covering a different stage in Lawrence's development after his family has bought a house and moved from their old neighbourhood in Montreal to a somewhat wealthier suburb, Ville St. Laurent."-- |
