Résumé
Shortlisted
for the Cover Design Award at the 2016 Alberta Book Publishing Awards!After
the accidental death of a teenaged friend, the Lansing family has split along
fault lines previously hidden under a patina of suburban banality. Every family
has secrets, but for the Lansings those secrets end up propelling them in
different directions away from their border town to foreign shores and to
prison.
Told in thirty-three flash fiction narratives, Border Markers is fractured like the psyches of its characters, all keen edges and tough language. It's a slice of prairie noir that straddles the line between magical and gritty realism. Jenny Ferguson's debut is a compelling collection of commonplace tragedies and surprising insights.
