Loom in the Loft (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798327714793)

Pubescent short story writer Drew has two dreams: to become a New York Times bestselling novelist, and to convince his single, 30-something neighbor Sasha to tutor him in the intimate arts.

When an aged, terminally ill neighbor offers Drew the cash fortune stashed in the walls of her house, he enlists Sasha to assist with its post-mortem extraction. Pressed by the looming arrival of the deceased's estranged adult children-both eager to inherit her estate-Drew and Sasha bank on their promise to keep secrets neither can afford to have exposed.

Set in a mid-size Canadian city in 1976, this tragicomic novelette is at once an exercise in self-reflexive metafiction observed in postmodern prose and a reminiscence of the sincerity and enthusiasm found in modernist literature. Playful yet serious, Loom in the Loft offers readers a firm push on the metamodern literary swing.
