Join us for the Toronto launch of My Thievery of the People by Leila Marshy! Featuring a conversation with Trish Salah. ABOUT THE BOOK From the highways of Cairo to the outports of Newfoundland, the soul-crushing cubicles of city work and the deceptive perils of the Quebec countryside, these brilliant short stories lay bare the workings of power and the small acts of both courage and compromise by which those on the margins defy them. Beautifully cohesive across the stunning depth and range of setting and subject, there is nothing predictable about My Thievery of the People. ABOUT LEILA MARSHY LeilaMarshy is of Palestinian-Newfoundland parentage, which explains a lot.
