From the highways of Cairo to the outports of Newfoundland, the soul-crushing cubicles of city work and the birds and bees of the Quebec countryside, these brilliant short stories lay bare the workings of power and the small acts of both courage and compromise by which those on the margins defy them. Beautifully cohesive across the stunning depth and range of setting and subject, there is nothing predictable about My Thievery of the People.

Leila Marshy is of Palestinian-Newfoundland parentage and lives in Montreal. During the First Intifada, she worked for the Palestinian Mental Health Association in Gaza, and Medical Aid for Palestine in Montreal. In 2011 she founded Friends of Hutchison, a ground-breaking community group bringing Hasidic and non-Hasidic neighbours together in dialogue. Her first novel, The Philistine, was published in 2018 and in French in 2021.
