INVENTORY

Inventory follows two Greek sisters, Eleanor and Theodora, coming of age in their family’s restaurant on Lake Huron—playing in the basement stockrooms, washing dishes, taking inventory, training new hires, waitressing—all of which they do with increasing resentment. The stories reflect their misguided and defiant efforts to straddle conflicting cultures: Greece and Canada, townies and tourists, restaurant life and everything outside it. As they enter adolescence, they wrestle with gender and working-class politics they barely understand and adopt a recklessness that threatens both themselves and their family’s livelihood.

Inventory was selected as runner-up for the 2025 Grace Paley Prize for Short Fiction by judge Kevin Wilson.

Wilson: “This linked collection spans time and geography in exquisite prose that seeks to uncover the ways in which we are bound to our family history, and all the ways we radically seek to fracture that tidy narrative. Following a family of Greek immigrants running a restaurant in Canada, this collection is insightful and beautiful, even as it plumbs all the ways in which pain is forever passed back and forth between ourselves and the people who made us.”
