Product Description
SHIPS APRIL 2019
The Canary Keeper himself is a failed actor, the kind of person no one wants to listen to at parties, but the eponymous play he stars in features characters eking out existence while in search of their own curtain calls, a chance to hear the applause before the silence sets in. Artist-citizens from the fictional Market Town look to the dimming spotlight and cannot decide its meaning: are they destined for burn-out or blinded by fantasies of themselves as small-town stars? They mark time by way of darkened, lonely highways, indifference from people in power, and the search for opportunity beyond the boredom of Oklahoma’s borders. They step forward, clear their throats, and laugh at their ability to wait in the wings forever, longing for escape to the green room and anticipating that fateful moment when the stage manager says Go.
The Canary Keeper depicts both loneliness and a kind of majesty: faced with failure, these characters recognize the fraudulence of so-called success stories and emerge, battle-scarred and bemused, squinting into the unrelenting, Oklahoma noonday sun.
BLURBS
“In Dinah Cox’s masterful The Canary Keeper, the stories widen and constrict like an aperture, revealing both the fine grain of a character’s skewed consciousness and the broad sweep of the eccentric family history from which it came. Cox’s fictional worlds are full of sudden, shocking aberrations—a baby shoved into a stranger’s arms, Girl Scouts bolted to a jalopy’s hood, an expert crier who suddenly can’t shed a tear—that rip the story open, exposing a tangle of hidden connections. These characters live in small Oklahoma towns, but they yearn for things no physical place can provide—a sense of singular purpose, a soaring love, a truth that can’t be spun. Like peering through a cracked lens, the world of The Canary Keeper is both warped and made magic by the sparkling fissures of desire.”
—Monica McFawn, author of Bright Shards of Someplace Else.
“In Dinah Cox’s The Canary Keeper a daughter is named Dawn (after the dishwashing liquid), girl scouts hood-surf, a love-sick waiter slips his own messages into fortune cookies, and actors and dancers suffer diminished hopes in outposts of Oklahoma. While characters may suffer the abuse of hecklers or relatives and the depredations of long-term disappointment, readers won’t be in the least disappointed by a single one of these highly accomplished, crisp, witty, resonant, and ultimately compassionate stories.”
—Lee Upton, author of The Tao of Humiliation and Visitations: Stories.
“In this highly original collection, Dinah Cox paints a funny, nuanced, portrait of life in small-town Oklahoma. Whether describing a negligent mother in a see-through raincoat, an elderly father lost in the snow, or a puppet show at the local library, Cox renders a world bursting with energy and life.”
—Kathleen Founds, author of When Mystical Creatures Attack!
