| dc.description.abstract | Drizzleville is a novella in which four estranged young adults who used to be in a closely-knit writing club converge on the weird town of Drizzleville, Alberta to attend their high school reunion– an event that happens to fall on the tenth anniversary of their friend Nick's death. Buddy Werkman drives a decommissioned hearse and holds onto souvenirs from his time spent with Nick and the other members of the club, specifically an audio cassette recording of a club meeting, which he listens to on the way to Drizzleville. When the four characters ––Buddy, Regi Philips, Jill Olsen, and David Leroy–– meet in the rustic Hotel Siobhan, the persistent presence of Nick in Buddy's psyche threatens to unveil the secret they've kept all these years regarding Nick's death. The novella is interrupted by flashbacks of the five principle characters as adolescents, as well as excerpts from their own myths and tall-tales written in a binder they share, which has an uncanny influence on the world outside their book. | |
