Suite as Sugar is a fiction collection with stories set across Winnipeg, Toronto, Havana, and Trinidad. The stories reflect colonial histories, abandonment, loss, chaos, and the blurred veil between the living and the dead.
Paperback. Recommended for adults.
$150.00
From Winnipeg winterscapes to Toronto’s condo culture, from Havana’s haunted streets to Trinidad’s calamitous environs, the stories in Suite as Sugar are permeated with the violence of colonial histories, personal and intimate, reflecting legacies of abandonment and loss. The veil between the living and the dead is obscured, chaos becomes panacea, and characters take drastic measures into their own hands.
