Items related to Fairfield: The Last Sad Stories of G. Brandon Sisnett
How does a man or an artist express his deepest grief at what he has lost? How does he express his desperate disappointment at living? For a man, an artist, such as the reclusive G. Brandon Sisnett, it is by writing stories of death, decay, and resurrection such as these. At first, these pages seem a random collection of stories, fragments, and miscellany, some previously published, many not; some long, others very oddly brief; some linked by obvious preoccupation with death, whereas others could not be farther apart in tone or content. Occasionally, scenes are echoed in other stories, but with slightly different outcomes. Inexplicably, a number of characters are based on those of other authors. And what of the recurrence of the word 'Fairfield'; either as city, state of mind, person, or idea? Is Fairfield the surname of an English doctor who treated Sisnett's daughter before she died? The name of an obscure hospital in Botswana? Or perhaps the strange presage of Elysium?

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When G. Brandon Sisnett dies at his computer a mild spring day in March, he leaves behind two unfinished works in his Montreal home. One, a political tract typical of the kind of rant the reclusive writer was famous for, the other an unexpected box of short fiction none of his publishers was aware existed. At first read a seemingly random collection of .fragments and miscellanea, it soon becomes clear the stories contain a mystery surrounding the sad death of the Barbadian-born authors four-year-old daughter, his retreat from society, and the recurring name of Fairield. An amazing book, Sandifords newest collection is an intimate, insightful look at how we all strive to live with the memory of love and loss.
