Some Extremely Boring Drives
Shortlisted for the 2015 ReLit Award for Short Fiction!
Shortlisted for the 2015 Trade Fiction Book Award at the Alberta Book Publishing Awards!
From the multi-talented author of Inventory and Open Pit comes a new collection of short stories, filled with lost souls drifting through exotic locales, reinventing themselves on the fly.
Marguerite Pigeon's gifts for quick characterization and muscular dialogue are on full display in this collection, where you will encounter competitors in an endurance race at the edge of the world; the secret lives of stray cats, and those who try to catch them night after night; an interview with a once-famous musician who seems to be losing touch with reality; a date in Mexico City that ends in a kidnapping; a woman who comes face to face with her mirror image and finds that she's taken another path; and a girl who's determined to never, ever stand still again.

"To use 'boring' in a book title takes confidence, to add 'extremely' may seem brash, but Marguerite Pigeon deserves to be cocky in naming her first collection of stories.
