SIGNED BY DONNA BESEL on title page; As New; A startling and fascinating first collection that displays the kind of humour and disenchantment that arises when everyday assertions, held over time, can swerve a life off course. Besel allows the reader to observe each of her indelible characters closely, through writing that reveals a keen vision, and an energetic intelligence, Besel's real talent is for telling us the truth.

Lessons from a Nude Man, a short-fiction collection by Manitoba writer Donna Besel is the seventh title in the Strike Fire New Authors Series. Besel knows prairie landscape--how the frost looks like on a badly tended garden, how trees change one decade to the next and more importantly she has populated her stories with indelible characters. Lessons from a Nude Man captures both the comedy and absurdity in all levels of human relationships. Besel is a new voice with a strong and profound value, her stories are filled with wit and humor and incredible poignancy, she deftly reveals the everyday patterns that, over time, can swerve a life off course.
