Yukon Postcards

I was concerned with the ways we construct stories to order our experiences and memories. Experience and memory are ongoing processes, without boundaries. However, we edit and organize on narrative principles in order to share our history and to make events meaningful to us. The central character reads his version of incidents that he may have witnessed as a mineworker in Northern Canada. A series of snapshots re-tells the stories in a less personal, more oblique fashion. The stories appear to have connections to personal experience and each appears to confirm the truth of the other. Yet they also comprise fictions fabricated oral and photographic histories. (AB)
