Welcome to Litsy!

A single summer changes the trajectory of each member of this close-knit family, changing their lives � and the family � forever. �Sharp, wildly hilarious, touching, and profound � Maybe art can�t be perfect, but Arjun Basu comes as close as it gets.� � Chris Harding, author of Pickard County Atlas The Reeds are a very loving, slightly dysfunctional family � but a summer of individual changes is about to shake their tight family unit. Bobby, the father, loses his job while his wife Mimi�s lucrative business leaps ahead. Their adopted son, Abbie, leverages his internet stardom into the makings of a career, while their adopted daughter, Dee, discovers who she really is. They�ll have to navigate the shifting landscapes of money and fame in the age of the internet, office politics, gender dynamics, and sexuality in a world that has just seen political upheaval. Set in Montreal�s west end, The Reeds is an ultimately optimistic story about the middle class, hope and love, and nostalgia, while exploring the dehumanization of work and the power of art against a backdrop of shag carpeting, the relentlessness of change, gentrification, and Japanese fried chicken.
