A Gentle Habit
A Gentle Habit | Cherie Dimaline
4 posts | 2 read | 14 to read
The inspiration for the collection comes from American Poet Charles Bukowski who wrote "In between the punctuating agonies, life is such a gentle habit." Following this theme of extraordinary ordinariness, A Gentle Habit is a collection of six new short stories focusing on the addictions of a diverse group of characters attempting normalcy in an unnatural world.

Another book I'm thinking about for that review. Short stories by a Métis author this time. Also very promising.

IronMommy Stumbled upon your article on bookriot! Thanks, I think I'll enjoy this. 😄 8y
