mandarchy What a great quote. I always wonder if I would know when it's time to leave and what would it be like where I would go - would I be welcomed? 3y

"So far, Montreal felt like Europe and North America had gotten together and had a baby that wore a lot of denim and liked hockey."

I usually shy away from short story anthologies, but so far, I highly recommend this one.
