What Belongs

by F.B. Andre
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample

In this new collection of stories, F.B. André explores what it means to "belong." Frequently his stories portray individuals involved in mixed relationships, of different cultures and races or backgrounds—of people struggling to feel at home with themselves and their situations. André depicts characters newly arrived in Canada as well as those who have called Canada home for generations. With his wonderful ear for dialogue, André allows us to listen in on things that are deeply felt, and we are reminded that the unsaid often reveals more than that which is said. In the title story, "What Belongs," André depicts a contemporary researcher interviewing a descendant of one of the boatload of Afro Americans that Governor James Douglas invited to settle in British Columbia in 1858. Moving backwards and forwards from the present to the past, André asks, When does a place become home? When can you stake your claim? When does it become automatic that we are from here, that we belong?
