Pre-Order Islanders

“An intricate, beautiful, and melancholy story about the mysteries of memory, art, loneliness, and connection. There’s so much gorgeous language here, and a deeply felt evocation of place. Reading it, I felt that I was on Toronto Island myself, remembering it in my own bones.”

–Alix Ohlin, author of Dual Citizens

Portrait of a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a black sweater, resting his chin on his folded hands, with a light gray background.

Adrick Brock grew up on Toronto Island.

His short stories have appeared in The New Quarterly, EVENT, The Malahat Review, PRISM international, Riddle Fence and The Dalhousie Review, and have been short- and long-listed for the CBC Short Story Prize. He holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia and lives in Vancouver, BC.

Islanders is his first novel.
