"To say Heighton is an immensely talented writer is true enough but insufficient
... As good a writer as Canada has ever produced."
-National Post
The unforgettable last collection by the bestselling author of The Shadow Boxer
A man recalls his father's advice on how to save a drowning person, but
struggles when the time comes to use it. A wife's good deed leaves a couple
vulnerable at the moment when they're most in need of security-the birth of
their first child. Newly in love, a man preoccupied by accounts of freak
accidents is befallen by one himself. In stories about love and fear, idealisms
and illusions, failures of muscle and mind and all the ways we try to care for
one another, Steven Heighton's Instructions for the Drowning is an indelible
last collection by a writer working at the height of his powers.
