The Pink House, Licia Canton’s much anticipated second collection of short fiction, like her first, Almond Wine and Fertility (2008), 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 middle-aged woman remembers her first love affair, a young woman is immobilized on a cold sidewalk after an accident, somehow Leonard Cohen is involved… Licia Canton’s sober narrative voice powerfully conveys the emotions that drive characters to action and, in the process, compels readers to contemplate life and the challenges we all face.
