    The Book of Grief and Hamburgers
    • Exploring profound themes of loss and mortality, this personal essay weaves together the author’s reflections on grief with unexpected moments of levity, such as the enjoyment of hamburgers. Through a unique blend of poignant storytelling and humor, the narrative delves into the complexities of human emotion, offering insights into the ways food and memory intersect in the face of life's challenges.

      The Book of Grief and Hamburgers
    • Stuart Ross's sometimes poignant, sometimes outrageous third story collection deepens his exploration of the possibilities of the short story and narrative. A trio of tales probe fame through the lens of 1960s-70s French pop and disco icon Claude François; legendary Hollywood actor Lee Marvin saves the day, again and again; the citizens of a small town worship an all-knowing potato; a man dons a bib to devour his neighbour's house; a tourist finds both love and a dead frog in Nicaragua; and, in one particularly educational anti-story, the author instructs readers in the art of writing the short story. In I AM CLAUDE FRANÇOIS AND YOU ARE A BATHTUB, Ross, a veteran of the Canadian literary underground, unleashes his arsenal of pathos, absurdism, humour, and cantankerousness. Poetry.
