"Suburban Pornography" is contemporary literature, which
documents Canadian urban life in a raw and naked manner. The prose
is stripped--minimalist, direct, urgent, unflinching. The stories
revolve around ordinary characters and problems--people stuck in
bad relationships or jobs. Some yearn for something just beyond
their grasp, something authentic to knock them out of their
malaise. Their frailties and obsessions are front and centre. They
are garbage men, bus drivers, waitresses, soup kitchen clients, and
neighbourhood perverts--tired and busy, too weary to
contemplate--from social conditions that sanction only mere
existence in redemption's agony and fleeting glory.
