Scarborough / Catherine Hernandez. by Hernandez, Catherine, 1977- Arsenal Pulp Press, c2017. Call #: FICTION HER Subjects Neighborhoods -- Fiction.   Inner cities -- Fiction.   City and town life -- Fiction.   Interpersonal relations -- Fiction.   Scarborough (Ont.) -- Fiction.   Toronto (Ont.) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781551526775 (trade pbk.) Description:  258 p. ; 21 cm Summary:  A poignant, multi-voiced novel about life in the inner city. Scarborough is a low-income, culturally diverse neighbourhood east of Toronto, the fourth largest city in North America. Like many inner-city communities, it suffers under the weight of poverty, drugs, crime, and urban blight. Scarborough the novel employs a multitude of voices to tell the story of a tight-knit neighbourhood under fire: among them, Victor, a black artist harassed by the police; Winsum, a West Indian restaurant owner struggling to keep it together; and Hina, a Muslim school worker who witnesses first-hand the impact of poverty on education. And then there are the three kids who work to rise above a system that consistently fails them: Bing, a gay Filipino boy who lives under the shadow of his father's mental illness; Sylvie, Bing's best friend, a Native girl whose family struggles to find a permanent home to live in; and Laura, whose history of neglect by her mother is destined to repeat itself with her father.
