Polyglot: Stories of the West's Wet Edge

The Lovingly crafted stories in Polyglot chronicle lives between Vancouver, Washington and Vancouver, British Columbia — the wet edge of North America. The stories, linked by the advice of a gay Gypsy columnist, reflect Wendy Marcus' year in the Northwest's musical, newspaper and Jewish communities. Her wry and poignant perspectives on the denizens of this drizzly region include sprinklings from ten different languages, a reality of the increasingly diverse Northwest.
