From Publisher:

One of the CBC's Best Books of the Year.

A pregnancy test is taken at a wedding, a bad diagnosis leads a
patient to a surprising outlook, and a civic holiday becomes a dystopian
nightmare. By turns caustic, tender, and creepily hilarious, Sweet
Affliction reveals the frailties, perversions, and resilience of Anna
Leventhal's cast of city-dwellers. Shiftless youths, a compulsive
collector of cigarette butts, and a dying pet rat populate fifteen
sharply-observed and darkly funny stories that suck at the marrow of
modern life.

"It's a joy to read."--The Globe & Mail

"Anna Leventhal [is] one of Montreal's quietly beloved literary personalities."--Cult MTL

"A subtle yet powerful debut."--Inaudible

"Sweet Affliction's reviews have been positive across the board, and
rightly so. It's a collection that reads more like a mid-career
statement than a tentative debut."--Montreal Gazette
