The official launch party for Sugar Bush and Other Stories, the debut collection of short stories by Vancouver writer Jenn Farrell (aka fancylady aka Ms. Mule).
The skinny, via Anvil Press: "Sexy, funny, sad, and sweet—Sugar Bush and Other Stories is a frank debut collection of tales about sex, love, and longing. These girls and young women navigate their lives in questionable ways, making some ill-advised choices in their quests for individuality. Whether waiting tables in a factory town, skipping school to make out in the cemetery, or wandering alone on rural side roads, the girls of Sugar Bush share an appetite for destruction and an almost pathological need for acceptance and approval. Part breathless teenaged confessional, part wistful look back, Sugar Bush and Other Stories is a potent cocktail of desires thwarted and fulfilled."
