Meet a heroic horse-riding aunt and a family of beaver-eating eccentrics in these stories from the road. Born in Whitehorse, Ivan Coyote lives in Vancouver with her dogs Deja and Goliath. She's one of the five B.C. authors who were commissioned by CBC-TV for 5 on 50, an experimental anthology that presents five personal 'essays' to accompany visuals from a half-century's worth of CBC archives. Produced by Kevin Teichroeb, 5 on 50 also included Clint Hutzulak, Betty Krawczyk, Wayde Compton and Nancy Lee. Evidently West Coast experimentalism is not dead. 1-55152-120-2
