Spring preview 2015: short fiction & poetry

spring-08
CON GAME

From the youthful Toronto hipsters of How Insensitive and Noise to the lecherous community-college lecturer in Girl Crazy, Russell Smith has carved a path for himself charting the lusts and vicissitudes of a particular brand of urban, white male. His new story collection follows a group of upper-class urbanites, but adds mommy bloggers and husbandless financial traders to the mix. The one thing they all lack is contained in the book’s title: Confidence (Biblioasis).
