Résumé
Winner of the City of Calgary W. O. Mitchell Book Prize!Finalist
in the Trade Non-Fiction Award at the 2018 Alberta Book Publishing Awards!Finalist
in the Cover Design Award at the 2018 Alberta Book Publishing Awards!In a city
known for wealth and prosperity, the divide between haves and have-nots is
rarely clearer than on moving day, when those two worlds come together in
intimate fashion.
Violent ex-cons and drug addicts are invited into spacious homes, entrusted with the care and transport of the possessions of the upper classes-a unique bridging of two normally segregated worlds. Darwin's Moving is an intriguing and affecting exploration of class divides by a journalist and former mover. Taylor Lambert takes us behind the scenes of a familiar industry that is almost completely undocumented in Canadian literature to reveal the cycles of poverty and addiction that ensnare its workers.
This is the Other Calgary, a world populated by transient men and women struggling to survive in a boomtown's shadow. Winner of the City of Calgary W. O.
