While playing with time and place, from Edmonton in the 1960s and 70s up to present-day Calgary, Lauralyn Chow creates a world of walking dolls, family car trips, fashion and frosty makeup, home renovations inspired by pop culture, and moving up to big, new houses. The interconnected stories found in <i>Paper Teeth</i> are fun, funny, and heart-warming journeys about the pursuit of identity and the crafting of home.</p><p>With domestic tomfoolery and through deft observation and prismatic-voiced humour—including ironic asides—Lauralyn Chow’s debut reveals how family nourishes hope.</p><p><br>Praise for <i>Paper Teeth</i><br><br>"[The stories] are a part of a whole, a narrative that is more than the sum of its parts in many ways."<br>~ Keith Cadieux, <i>The Winnipeg Review</i><br><br>"With unique humour and style, <i>Paper Teeth</i> introduces us to a fresh voice in Canadian short fiction."<br>~ Alissa McArthur, <i>Room</i><br><br>"Sweet tempered and humorous, these are stories of home and hearth."<br>~ Sarah Murdoch, <i>The Toronto Star</i><br><br>"The book is a lively jumble, much like the city it is based on."<br>~ Stephanie L.
