Howard is a playwright masquerading as a shoe salesman. Miriam, his wife-but-not-wife, spends her days fantasizing about a trip to Spain. Wandering the house in a blue bathrobe, she practices her Spanish, collects mementoes of Spain, and dreams of bullfights.
The stories in Red Plaid Shirt span twenty years of Diane Schoemperlen’s challenging and innovative writing. Told in her fresh and often deadpan comedic voice, they offer a compulsively readable mix of deeply felt emotion and finely wrought intellect. This collection was shortlisted for the Upper Canada Brewing Company Writers’ Craft Award.
