Cleverly Obtuse Title Utilizing Pun Goes Here



Nathan Sellyn’s debut fiction collection Indigenous Beasts comes out next month. I was flipping through the Raincoast Spring 2006 catalogue today and his book caught my eye. The cover looks sharp, and my bet is that the fiction inside is none-too-shabby.

I will buy five copies of his book if the final, printed book cover actually says that.
