In this provocative collection of short

stories, Karen Hofmann creates characters who struggle to connect or disconnect

from entanglements and relationships. With ironic accuracy and sensuous

imagery, Hofmann considers a range of human foibles: a newlywed couple who

transform into feral beasts during the hardships of a remote research

expedition; backbiting faculty members who strip down during a post-conference

BBQ; an heretical nun who explores the possibility of a new life by

imaginatively excavating the fossils of BC's Burgess Shale; and an ambitious

bylaw officer determined to make her mark on the city's

streets.

In Echolocation, Karen

Hofmann has found new ways to sound the depths of the human heart.
