Weights And Measures

by Diane Schoemperlen

Genres: General Fiction

Synopsis

The story of life told through the shapes and sizes that define us: pounds gained during pregnancy, the depth of human depression in Earth measurements, and the 21-gram weight of 21 paperclips, neither too light nor too heavy.

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.
