In this collection of creative non-fiction essays, the author reflects on some of the life experiences that have shaped her. This project is especially attentive to the socio-political context that queer individuals have navigated in Canada in recent decades and is influenced and inspired by the affect theory and writing methodology found in The Hundreds by Lauren Berlant and Kathleen Stewart. Additionally, Brian Dillon’s Essayism: On Form, Feeling, and Non-Fiction has been instrumental to this project. Keywords: literary non-fiction; essay; affect theory; fragment; essayism
