2018 Short Story Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 9

Smokey hogs the camera, I’m wearing my housecoat, and an important and timely story is included in today’s video.
My Canadian readers will probably be familiar with this latest can-lit thriller: Hysteria by Elisabeth de Mariaffi.

Is…
Technically this is a product + book review, because not only do I regale my viewers with (somewhat) insightful comments on Kim Thuy’s latest book Vi, but I also review some local chocolate by Master Chocolat!

What a beautiful conversation about this story. This is a nice video, Anne. I’m super disappointed in the chocolate calendar. The same thing happened last year with the same chocolates repeatedly. It almost seems like a rip-off.
right? So frustrating. And thank you!
