***2021 BMO WINTERSET AWARD - FINALIST*** ***2022 ATLANTIC BOOK AWARDS: ALISTAIR MACLEOD PRIZE FOR SHORT FICTION - SHORTLIST*** ***2022 NL BOOK AWARDS, FICTION - FINALIST*** ***2023 NL READS - FINALIST*** ***TOP TEN BOOKS OF 2021, THE TELEGRAM*** Warm, funny, and stylistically savvy, these stories follow an interlocking set of characters and the people they love. Characters weave their way in and out of The Love Olympics, a collection of short fiction set in St. John's. The book is about various forms of love--the ways love grips us, shakes us, releases or envelops us. The stories are smart, witty, funny, warm, and surprising; they capture the preoccupations of characters from different generations who are closely or only tangentially connected to one another. This collection explores people's aspirations, fears, and vulnerabilities; their generosity and desire for connection; their willingness to see past flaws and appreciate other human beings in all their complexity.
