Publisher's Synopsis
Cleaning Stories And Other Tails is a broad sweep of mainly the underclass. Bread crumbs of prostitution, idyllic adoption and the mumblings of a white woman near an indigenous reserve make the reader ponder, lash out and albeit care for the various winners and losers that cross days and nights. The characters drawn from a realm of healers, liars and ordinary Joes populate urban landscapes with self-deprecating wit, emotional shortcomings and identifiable crisis. The first incarnation of this book was a rough sketch I did while working as a maid in the Jewish ghetto of Montreal, Quebec. There have been many stained mattresses, unavailable rooms, and smoke-inhaled lobbies in the interim.
