About This Item
Toronto, Ontario, Canada : Methuen Publications, 1987. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. In Very Good Used Condition. With Minor Wear/Tear To Dust Jacket.. - For More Information On Condition. Please See All Photos. ~ The Dancing Chicken represents yet another departure for this daring writer. It casts a satiric eye on the alliances and misalliances of small-town institutions and families, specifically the Holmes family. Cod Holmes, who considers himself unhappily married to Nora, is on the verge of falling in love with Ursula, who is slightly mad. He is also spectacularly unfaithful with nurse Trout while visiting his daughter Brandy in the hospital. Brandy and her lover have been shot down by the leader of a rival motorcycle gang, who takes refuge in the woodshed of Cod's mother Miriam. Miriam believes him to be the resurrection of her long-dead husband Dodder. And so the family engages in the universal dance of sex and death in this mordantly funny new novel by one of our most imaginative writers.
