A Montrealer by way of the U.K. and Vancouver, Katrina Best launches her debut fiction collection with not so much a story as a slice. Lunch Hour presents a serving of live pigeon struggling in the baggy maw of a pelican, one warm afternoon in London’s St. James Park. Riveted or appalled park idlers assess the drama and horror of it all as they nibble on their own (more processed) animal parts....In this and other stories, Katrina Best’s vivid imagery and engaging scenarios make up for characters that sometimes feel one draft away from the full development they deserve Premi e riconoscimenti
Bird Eat Bird, Katrina Best's first book of short stories, is a funny, smart, offbeat and insightful collection that explores themes that are equally poignant and hilarious. A thirty-year-old woman who still lives at home anticipates the experience of a third date; a teenaged vegetarian supermarket cashier struggles to scan a package of offal; an inscrutable pelican in a crowded London park decides to try something different for dinner. These artful stories are tinged with social commentary and reflect their author in that they feature characters and sensibilities from both Britain and Canada.
