Synopsis

“If a story is not to be about love, then I think it must be about fear.” On her way to meet a friend for lunch, the narrator thinks back over her life, wondering if it is fear or anger that she feels.

The stories in Red Plaid Shirt span twenty years of Diane Schoemperlen’s challenging and innovative writing. Told in her fresh and often deadpan comedic voice, they offer a compulsively readable mix of deeply felt emotion and finely wrought intellect. This collection was shortlisted for the Upper Canada Brewing Company Writers’ Craft Award.
