Synopsis

Naomi Smith, a schoolteacher, is unlucky in love. With a penchant for travel, she finds herself lying on a beach on a remote island, when a local man named Iquito suddenly kisses the small of her back.

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.
