Snowstorm & Overgrowth — Claudie Arseneault

A pair of singers redefine their queerplatonic partnership through a unique concert. Alexis Le Trotteur, local MagSkater star, must represent his backwater planet in the Great Intergalactic MagSkate Championship. A young mother visits her friend's grave in a blooming cemetery for the first time in years. Resistance organizes against a food corporate giant in near-future Québec City. Through eight solarpunk and fantasy short stories, Claudie Arseneault revisits local myths and invented legends, explores aromanticism and asexuality, and prods at the soft edges of grief.
