Launch for In a Mist by Devon Code

Launch for Devon Code's In a Mist (Invisible Publishing) at This Ain't the Rosedale Library. Also reading is Thea Lim, author of The Same Woman (Invisible Publishing).

Devon Code's debut collection of short stories examines the lives of socially isolated individuals with obsessive interests and desires. These lonely protagonists find solace in emotionally evocative forms of cultural expression such as early jazz, classic cinema and renaissance motets. The transcendent potential of music is a recurring theme of this collection. Always melancholic, these stories are in turn horrific, humourous and poignant. Code is Torontonian by way of Montreal and Halifax.
