Reviews
The Cougars of TikTok
Robyn Diner’s piece, “The Cougars of TikTok”, is more essay than story, but confirms her place as one of my favourite Canadian authors with this insightful yet gentle piece on older women, social media, and sex. If I were still teaching sociology, that would totally be the opening entry in my course reader
Cuddle Me Outside
My personal favourite in this collection, though, was Robyn Diner’s ‘Cuddle Me Outside’. Wow. Worth the price of the collection for this one alone. Speculative in the sense that her cuddle-party concept could never work in the real world, the story is a joy to read. Her POV character is so hilariously self-deprecating, the story such a breath of fresh air in the dumpster fire that is this year in the news, I am going to have to track down everything else I can find by this new-to-me author.
