Nothing You Do Matters
Short Stories by Craig Silliphant
Checking Availibility...Description
In Nothing You Do Matters, writer Craig Silliphant presents twelve short stories, bringing along his infamously sardonic tongue, subversive humour, and penchant for media and pop culture references. Prairie writing doesn't have to be stuffy stories about grain elevators. Nothing You Do Matters is modern and alive. With rock n' roll prose and Swiftian satire and profanity, Silliphant tells stories that charge forth into the dualities of humour and melancholy, love and hate, the sublime and the sordid. Nothing You Do Matters revolves around life on the prairies and beyond; shopping malls, social media, young love, old rumours, crime, trauma, religion, childhood, starships, nihilistic optimism, and even a couple of prairie ghost stories for good measure.
