Paradise of the DowncastsThis book is available at many stores/libraries and websites, please click on the above arrow. This collection of short stories and essays is all about the delightful yet poignant discoveries and observations made while examining my life experiences in my new home, Canada.
Ms. Pejvack hones in to the deeper strata of life in Canada to uncover prevailing patterns of economic and political dysfunction. In this eclectic collection, she succeeds in delivering an exposé of human injustice in Canada perpetrated by systems designed to undermine and subjugate. Her characters tell poignant tales of imposed and unsubstantiated struggle with resultant suffering, directly connected to cumbersome and outdated agencies, and to favoritism for the wealthy and powerful. Couched in complex human relationships, she shines the spotlight on government policies designed to create and maintain inequality. Particularly for indigenous peoples, they go so far as to promote a state of poverty for those who want only to live a decent life. She is bold and declarative and is to be applauded for giving definition to truths about the larger global picture that most are reluctant to acknowledge. Policy makers would do well to read these narratives. Nasreen Pejvack-Copyright© 2023 All Rights Reserved |
