Nobody Looks That Young Here
Nobody Looks That Young Here | Daniel Perry
1 post | 1 read | 4 to read
You've always presumed there's a Highway 402, but as it's nowhere near Toronto you were never sure. No loss. It's not a lifeline like 401 or even 403 - it's just four empty lanes over a hundred flat kilometres, London to the border at Sarnia. It closes off a triangle on the map with its thick blue strip and Old 40, Sarnia to Chatham, and the 401 from Chatham to London, a shape with no more lines inside it. The old roads are still there, but now maintenance is up to the counties. The counties have let the asphalt crumble.

A quiet romp through a rural Canadian town outside of London, this is a short book of stories loosely tied together as characters repeat through differing POVs. There were instant connections for me despite the brief space allotted. Several were surprisingly dark but didn‘t focus much on what made it so which was wonderful in its truth— we are all well-rounded humans b/c of both the good and the bad things that occur in our lives. Refreshing.

Chellebearss I‘m from that area. I‘ll have to read this one! :-) 7y
LoverofLit I'm confused by the "rural Canadian town outside of London". Is there a Canada in England?! 7y
mrozzz I don‘t think so... but there is a London in Ontario! @LoverofLit 7y

LoverofLit Whoa that's super cool! I had no idea. #themoreyouknow 7y
janeycanuck @mrozzz @LoverofLit haha - yes, there‘s a London in Ontario. But I wouldn‘t call it a town, I think it‘s one of Canada‘s largest cities! 7y
janeycanuck @mrozzz we‘ve stolen the names of a lot of other places - we also have a Paris, a Brighton, and a Stratford among many others. 7y
RidgewayGirl I spent my teenage years in London. I‘ll have to find a copy. 7y
mrozzz I noticed! I think I also saw a Delhi on the map? @janeycanuck 7y
mrozzz @RidgewayGirl I hope you do! 7y
janeycanuck @mrozzz yeah, probably. More often than not, stuff is named after other places. Words from indigenous languages is very popular, too. We‘re not super original over here. 7y
