Praise for Hello, Horse"The tales here mix whimsy, weirdness, lust, and Canadian politics, bringing to mind George Saunders and the slackers from Wayne’s World . . . He has a penchant for alternating between things familiar and bizarre . . . Provocative, entertaining short fiction."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"Richard Kelly Kemick’s Hello, Horse is wildly original and filled with astonishing moments. A wonderful collection that resonates long after reading."—Don Gillmor, author of Breaking and Entering"Hello, Horse is beguiling and wondrous, with talking dogs and nuns at the end of the world, images that linger with strange pleasure; Richard Kelly Kemick is a stellar wordsmith."—Mark Anthony Jarman, author of Burn ManPraise for Richard Kelly Kemick"Kemick convincingly wrests the sublime from the trivial. He manages, astonishingly, a tone both earnest and ironic, with details and insights that are lively, unexpected, funny, and poignant."—National Magazine Awards"Richard Kemick spends a summer in Alberta's Bible Belt where it may be easier to find God than a vegetarian meal. There, he confronts age-old questions about belief with near-miraculous freshness, honesty, and humour. A deeply personal investigation of the blurred border between faith and imagination.”—Marcello Di Cintio, author of Precarious: The Lives of Migrant Workers
