Some blame God, others blame kismet, and still others rail against random happenstance. All told, maybe there are no accidents. In the fictional town of Bonneville, good people lose limbs, fight lightning, and slip into sinkholes. They pitch over bicycles, tumble off ladders, and expire without warning. They spin the wheel and take their chances. It's all in a day's work.
Mark Doyon is an empathetic social satirist with a playful grasp. His writing whistles past the graveyard like so many giggling schoolkids. It's as darkly funny as optimism gets. His short-fiction collection, 'Bonneville Stories,' amuses as well as provokes. 'Mark's work is very American,' says J. Thomas Hetrick of Pocol Press. 'It's about oversized dreams and the existential quandaries they bring.' His writing refracts Frederick Exley and Kurt Vonnegut, Roald Dahl and Donald Barthelme. As editor of the 1990s fiction quarterly 'Friction,' Doyon pondered past and present, truth and fact, ego and selflessness. These became the underpinnings of 'Bonneville Stories.'
