Helen Guri ~ Match


Helen will be appearing at our Small Press Event on May 30th at the Starlight. For more information about the event, please click HERE

Match
Robert Brand has given up on real women. Relationships just haven't ever worked out well for him. He has, however, found a (somewhat problematic) solution, a new feminine ideal: the 110-pound sex doll he ordered over the internet. Showing an uncanny access to the voice of the rejected, unimpressive, emotionally challenged modern male, Helen Guri''s debut collection explores Robert's transition from lost and lonely to loved, if only by the increasingly acrobatic voices in his mind.

Helen Guri graduated from the University of Toronto’s Creative Writing program, and has taught writing at Humber College. Her work has appeared in many Canadian journals, including Arc, Descant, Event, Fiddlehead and Grain. Match is her first collection. She lives in Toronto.
