Bird Eat Bird
In her first collection, Montreal writer Katrina Best observes the ways in which we delude ourselves with a penetrating but ultimately sympathetic eye. A thirty-year-old innocent who still lives with her parents anticipates the experience of a third date; a teenaged vegetarian supermarket cashier struggles to scan a package of offal; an inscrutable pelican in a crowded London park decides to try something different for lunch. Reflecting Best’s life in both Britain and Canada, these artful stories show a warm understanding of the sensibilities and a beautifully keen ear for the eccentricities and meanings of communication and miscommunication in both societies.
