Cerberus

In Cerberus, Toronto author Rai Berzins holds his readers in a steel grip. His stories revolve around people with odd personalities and those who love them, neglect them, and do or don't care for them. The vitality of these characters shatters easy distinctions between sanity and insanity, and love develops in unlikely circumstances. Confusion takes on an inner logic, tranquil surfaces cover turbulence and complexity, and each character is touched by grace.
