New fiction work by Anita Doron receives a Toronto Arts Council grant.

Opening paragraph:

“Lola Grimm has a beautiful head. It displays dark almond eyes and spider-silk, black hair so long it extends beyond her fingertips. It’s like an ancient flag – shredded and frail, it contains an antiquated sense of belonging.  Her lips are moist and red, full of lust. Her body is a skeleton held together by inorganic parts.  The ribcage is hoisted upon a thin, chrome scaffolding. Her left shin is a stout piece of iron. Her left forearm is a patch of dry cherry wood and walnut. All her knuckles are ball bearings taken from a 1912 Rudge TT Racer. She has no blood, no skin and no internal organs.”
