André Alexis is one of my fave authors so when I saw that he had a new book coming out I was so excited and I read this book right away. I loved Other Worlds! These short stories are so fun and showcases his true masterful storytelling. I really enjoyed his other short story collection The Night Piece and I can tell the evolution to this collection. I loved the nostalgia and how meta these stories are. Several of these stories draw from his life and experiences as they feature characters of Jamaican descent living in Canada and specifically Toronto. The specific mention of Shoppers Drug Mart selling “fresh food” was so funny. Several elements he featured in his previous books such as God and animals are in this book too. The last story which was autofiction was especially good. I’m so glad I got to read this book early!
