A beautiful rumination on sentience\, imagination\, impermanence and friendship\, Genki Ferguson has written a story that lives on the precarious and satisfying edge of melancholy and exuberance.” — Ruth Ozeki\, author of A Tale for the Time Being \nGenki Ferguson was born in New Brunswick to a family of writers and grew up in Calgary. He spent much of his childhood in the subtropical island of Kyushu\, Japan\, where his mother’s family still resides. Fluent in Japanese and capable of making a decent sushi roll\, Genki was the recipient of the 2017 Helen Pitt Award for visual arts\, and recently completed a degree in Film Production while working part-time at Book Warehouse\, an indie store in Vancouver. \nKevin Chong is the author of six books\, most recently The Plague\, a retelling of Albert Camus’ novel of the same name. Based in Vancouver\, he teaches creative writing at the University of British Columbia Okanagan. The Plague is available for purchase through Massy Books: https://bit.ly/2MpVfSB
