I have a new short story out in the summer issue of the Fiddlehead. (Sharing pages with Eden Robinson = swoon ) I wrote this one in late 2015, taking inspiration from the chain-link fence that runs north-south along l'Acadie. The fence separates two of Montreal's most disparate neighbourhoods: Parc-Ex and Mount-Royal. Back when I wrote this, … Continue reading New story in the Fiddlehead!
