From the heart of the city to the edges of the Arctic: a brilliant and observant essay collection by a modern flaneur
In 1990, writer Stephen Osborne and his partner, Mary Schendlinger, began publishing Geist, a literary quarterly based in Vancouver, BC. From the beginning, the magazine established a reputation for observant photography, thoughtful essays, and off-the-wall humour, not least because of Osborne’s regular contributions. The Coincidence Problem brings together Osborne’s dispatches covering a wide range of subjects, from civic monuments to family history to global terrorism, the lynching of Indigenous youth Louie Sam, end times in the Arctic, and yes, even cats. A modern flaneur, he investigates the city, translates the ordinary, and deflates the pretentious. The Coincidence Problem confirms Osborne’s reputation as an incisive writer of narrative non-fiction that is at once personal and expansive.
