All aberrant noises are also made by the author. They're short and
obnoxious, so don't miss them. What's
Been Said So Far
"One of the most brilliant of the younger generation of Canadian
writers." -Eric McCormack
"In Smell It, Hal Niedzviecki inhales and exhales
vulnerability--especially men's- in deep, sad, gleeful sighs. Frailties,
fears and love are soulmates in this fresh prose. Niedzviecki's stories turn our
frantic heads over and over, revealing astonished, difficult hearts."
