Author: Marilyn Duarte

  • A Father’s Legacy

    A story told as a flowchart in an image, about her family’s history in Portugal and Toronto. It’s harrowing, and worth the effort to zoom and scroll around to follow the various branches. Duarte should write a memoir, I’d buy it for sure.

  • Two Stories

    Two related and absolutely crushing pieces of flash nonfiction by a Toronto writer: “Let Me Pretend” and “He always says he will never leave me”. Domestic abuse is a big part of these stories. Five minutes of reading you’ll never forget.

  • Sophia Goes Bowling at 3AM

    Everyone had a childhood friend like Sophia, but most of those friendships didn’t go this way.
