A marine engineer by first trade, AndrE Narbonne was living out of
his duffel bag when he arrived in Halifax on a damaged tanker in
the mid--eighties. He completed two degrees in English at Dalhousie
University and a PhD at the University of Western Ontario. He
teaches English & Creative Writing at the University of
Windsor.
AndrE Narbonne's first collection of award--winning stories, Twelve
Miles to Midnight, abounds with intriguing and raw characters: a
mother who flees to a wild island in Northern Ontario to protect
her son from the vengeance of strangers; a mad captain on an
icebound oil tanker stalked by an invisible predator; a Melvillean
chef who prefers not to cook; a sex worker seeking transcendence.
In twelve piercingly authentic stories, Narbonne crafts a
compellingly human world in which compassion is the genius of
commonplace heroes and heroines.
