SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022 SCOTIABANK GILLER PRIZEThe Sleeping Car PorterThe Sleeping Car Porter was fantastic! It strikes a balance between being about the struggles of being black and gay at that time while not being too heavy handed with it. I enjoyed his constant mental math on how many demerits he might receive for each infraction. The reader really gets a sense of the conflict that Baxter is going through. I really liked reading a book from the perspective of a porter." ' Hunter Gillum, Beaverdale Books
