By Fagan, Caryc2013., General, House of Anansi Press Call No: Fic Fag Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "With wit, tenderness, humour, and, startling beauty, Cary Fagan brings a gifted young man's rise to a peculiar kind of stardom, wonderfully alive. Growing up in a Jewish neighbourhood in the 1930s, young Benjamin Kleeman falls in love, first with Corrine Foster and then with magic. Hiding his new passions from his parents - the long-suffering Bella, an Italian immigrant, and Jacob, a talented but failed inventor of elaborate mechanical devices - Benjamin begins apprenticeships in magic and life itself, learning along the way that everything is more complicated than it seems."--Publisher.

By Fagan, Cary2017., Adult, Astoria Call No: Fic Fag Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "These thirty-five brief stories--and the found photographs that inspired them--are by turns realistic and surreal, bloody and tender, delightful and appalling. Award-winning author Cary Fagan has created a mesmerizing series of narrative tales, giving readers a vivid peek into lives of strangers. A man hangs onto a runaway horse. A woman paints in the nude. A shop window advertising a sale on blankets hides much more behind it. A lone tombstone on a hill speaks of a years-long feud. The stories--capturing portraits, objects, moments in time--while dizzyingly varied, form a single image that, in the words of the author, 'belong to one history, found in an album that might belong to any of us.' Deftly marrying vision and language with memory and imagination, Fagan paints an intimate portrait of forgotten lives that is profound, generous, and highly entertaining."--From publisher.

By Fagan, Caryc2009., Cormorant Books Call No: Fic Fag Edition: 1st ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Valentine Schwartz had it all: his girlfriend was the most beautiful girl in school, he came from a rich family, and his best friend, Huddie Rosen, all but worshiped him. Although Valentine wasn't the brightest student, no one could have forseen him falling off the roof of his north Toronto high school in a suit of medieval armour, and dying at the tender age of seventeen. Twenty-five years later Huddie Rosen, now living in Prague, has more important questions on his mind. Can he save his marriage and family? Should he give up the hand-to-mouth existence of a bluegrass musician and get a real job? Arriving in Toronto, Huddie begins to reconnect with his old friends, and soon finds himself wrapped up in their lives. It's a wonder anyone was able to live without him. And as his old and new lives begin to clash, he finds himself wondering which life he should choose."--Inside front cover.
