Literary Review of Canada: The fight for meaning and honesty continues

,

So pleased to have a short review of Not the Apocalypse I Was Hoping For in the October 2022 print publication The Literary Review of Canada.

“Leslie Greentree’s bold and beleaguered creations run the gamut from apathy to anger. Characters drink too much, misread scenarios, interrupt each other, blurt out home truths, hide behind humour, and generally grapple with the divide between intentions and perception …

“Greentree is at her strongest when she builds to the agony of a sudden loss of control. Some characters turn to art to make sense of their disillusionment, others pop open another beer …

“Yet the center holds. The world keeps spinning. Within these fourteen tales, the fight for meaning and honesty continues.”
