Praise for Some Extremely Boring Drives:”To use “boring” in a book title takes confidence, to add “extremely” may seem brash, but Marguerite Pigeon deserves to be cocky in naming her first collection of stories.”~ Jade Colbert, Globe and Mail”Each story reveals a peculiar and unique world peopled by genuinely interesting inhabitants.”~ Dana Hansen, Quill & Quire”Driven to extremes, each of Pigeon’s characters is stripped of the coping mechanism that has kept them moving forward; when they’re jolted out of the trance of the ordinary, we don’t know which way they’ll go, or even if they will survive. But one thing is certain-they will never be the same.”~ Kristine Morris, Foreword Reviews”A robust collection that is memorable from the first page to its last … [w]ith a book of poetry, a novel, and now this collection of short stories, Pigeon has proven herself a writer of many talents, and one worthy of our attention.”~ Jessica Rose, Room Magazine”Where the characters are going and whether they are in control is debatable but they’re always behind the wheel, zipping through diverse landscapes without a GPS. Pigeon lures the reader into the backseat with all the tension and anticipation of a road trip without the “are we there yets?”~ Ali Bryan, author of Roost”Marguerite Pigeon’s stories bore through the everyday to those pockets where the best story-stuff hides. She captures her characters as they’re driven to extremes, in the sparkling, miserable moments between ordinary and ordinary.”~ Naomi K. Lewis, author of I Know Who You Remind Me Of
