Reviewer Luke Sutherland loved WHAT A FISH LOOKS LIKE so much he gave it a star and asked author Syr Hayati Beker for a full interview feature.

This interview is smart, funny, and incisive, much like Beker and their debut novella.

An update for our American friends re: shipping books from Canada to the US. We really held out as long as we could on this decision, hoping that logic and neighbourliness would prevail. We did a ton of research into trade agreement compliance, and other shipping options. We hope you understand.
