Paper Teeth follows the lives of the Lees, a Canadian-Chinese family and their friends who reside in Edmonton, Alberta. While playing with time and place, from Edmonton in the 1960s and 70s up to present-day Calgary, Lauralyn Chow creates a world of walking dolls, family car trips, fashion and frosty makeup, home renovations inspired by pop culture, and moving up to big, new houses. The interconnected stories found in Paper Teeth are fun, funny, and heart-warming journeys about the pursuit of identity and the crafting of home.

With domestic tomfoolery and through deft observation and prismatic-voiced humour—including ironic asides—Lauralyn Chow’s debut reveals how family nourishes hope.

Praise for Paper Teeth

"[The stories] are a part of a whole, a narrative that is more than the sum of its parts in many ways."
~ Keith Cadieux, The Winnipeg Review

"With unique humour and style, Paper Teeth introduces us to a fresh voice in Canadian short fiction."
~ Alissa McArthur, Room

"Sweet tempered and humorous, these are stories of home and hearth."
~ Sarah Murdoch, The Toronto Star

"The book is a lively jumble, much like the city it is based on."
~ Stephanie L. Lu, Canadian Literature
