Description
Take a bit of grim, a pinch of wit, and a heap of whimsy, and The Politics of Being Ugly will burst forth from whatever cauldron you are making this bizarre brew in. Featuring a band of sweetly pathetic characters, this collection of modern fables will take you from a bellybutton rebellion to romance on Pluto. With simultaneously grotesque and loveable losers, these tales will take you through the mythical and the everyday to a place of harsh, hilarious and uncanny reality.
About the author
Contributor Notes
Kayla Altman is a product of the Toronto landscape, a typically atypical family, and a personal evolution that has pulsed awkwardly between the whimsical and the bleak. After completing a BFA at OCAD University, she went on to study the Accessibility for Ontarian's with Disabilities Act. She currently lives in small dusty apartment in a tall building somewhere in downtown Toronto, replete with mismatched furniture and numerous tchotchkes she can't bring herself to throw out.
