The Pink House and Other Stories, Licia Canton’s much anticipated second collection has been released by Longbridge Books. An exquisitely crafted set of 15 stories, the book will be launched during Montreal’s Blue Metropolis Festival. The Pink House and Other Stories delves into the lives of ordinary people who must contend with extraordinary situations: an elderly man is determined to renew his motorcycle license, a traumatized writer is unable to write, a woman is immobilized on a cold sidewalk after an accident, somehow Leonard Cohen is involved… These stories deal with parenting and aging, trauma and depression, creativity and healing. With The Pink House and Other Stories, Licia Canton powerfully conveys the emotions that drive the characters to action and, in the process, compels readers to contemplate the challenges we all face.
