Down from Heaven
A virus has plagued the city and residents are quarantined. Curfews have been imposed and rumours of government corruption abound. Bureaucratic red tape is creating a food crisis. Laurel and her parents are imprisoned in the basement of their stately home, relying on the generosity of their former gardener, Cheater, for information and supplies. While Laurel and her family struggle just to survive, Cheater becomes intoxicated with his new-found power as a member of the Security and Surveillance police. Laurel must act as go-between if she is to liberate her family from their basement cell, and enters the dark and convoluted world of Cheater, discovering in the process startling revelations about herself, politics, art, violence, and the man they have become dependent upon.
The Monument
"A young soldier has been convicted of war crimes committed during a genocide. Like a good soldier, he obeyed his surperiors only to find that, at the conclusion of war, he became the scapegoat for crimes "everyone was doing." As he is about to be executed, a mysterious woman who is both his saviour and his tormentor offers him freedom-- at a price."

Home
"Two families, four languages, one house. "Home" puts its characters into a unique and challenging conflict across language and history and asks difficult questions about the illusion of ownership and the definition of "home". "Home" is the story of an aging man, Tooman, exiled from his homeland, who through repatriation efforts, can now return and reclaim his home and property. However, fifty-five years have passed and the home has been inhabited by three woman, who, caught in the shifting tides of a new world of globalization, find themselves threatened with expulsion when Toomas and his son, Wendall, return to reclaim the land and house. The women who have lived in this adopted country and in this house for so long, feel suddenly rootless. "Home" explores our deep connection to home, not just as place, but memory and language, our sense of identity"--Publisher's website.
Selves and Subjectivities
As critic Diana Brydon has argued, contemporary Canadian writers are "not transcending nation but resituating it." Drawing together themes of gender and sexuality, trauma and displacement, performativity, and linguistic diversity, Selves and Subjectivities constitutes a thought-provoking response to the question of what it means to be a Canadian"--P. [4] of cover.
