Wow!! What a start! I am excited to read this.
I met the author at a screening of her film, "This Is Gay Propaganda: LGBT Rights & the War in Ukraine" at the Leslie Lohman Museum several (?) years ago.
Reading this aloud, I feel regret at not beginning it earlier!

Vanessa and I began reading this book earlier this summer, together, on a bench in the heat of Kelowna summer.
Now, we are reading over FaceTime, on our iPads, me in New Mexico, she in Toronto at her studio.
This book, the way that food weaves in and out of familial trauma and queerness and Ukrainian diaspora- it is filling me with all sorts of memories and ruminations of my own.
I love memoir.

Beautiful words about grief in The Rain can be Beautiful. Beautiful words about pleasure in Ice Cream.

Just now, we read the second essay while sitting on a bench in the afternoon shade at UBC Okanagan.
I feel wholly entranced by Bociurkiw’s lyrical depictions of the most banal desserts of 1970s Canada!
