Description

Drinkin' rye and water with Grandma. Guns in False Creek. Frat boy homies from the North Delta ghetto. Samuel L. Jackson. Phantom Lord & Metallica. A kid who's got the hots for his mom...

Hunh?

That's right. It's all here in this collection of immediate, lean and visceral short fiction from Clint Burnham.

Praise for Airborne Photo:

"A stack of hot Manwiches with hardboiled ingredients and a strong aftertaste for the steely constitution... " (Lynn Crosbie)

"Burnham's prose has the goods on a lower mainland most people are glad not to know." (George Bowering)

"an unsettling, diamond-sharp book of tiny stories that should be couriered to every doe-eyed, poverty-fetishizing liberal in the country." (This Magazine)
