INVENTORY
Inventory, my debut novel-in-stories, follows two Greek sisters coming of age in their family’s restaurant on Lake Huron—playing in the basement stockrooms, washing dishes, taking inventory, training new hires, waitressing—all of which they do with increasing resentment. The stories reflect their misguided and defiant efforts to straddle conflicting cultures: Greece and Canada, townies and tourists, restaurant life and everything outside it. As they enter adolescence, they wrestle with gender and working-class politics they barely understand and adopt a recklessness that threatens both themselves and their family’s livelihood.
