What is Stunt about?

Eugenia Ledoux wakes one morning to a note on the kitchen table: “Gone to save the world. Sorry. Yours, Sheb Woolly Ledoux. Asshole.” Eugenia is nine years old, a synaesthesiac & a tightrope walker. She adores her father & his lunatic charms; she loves that he takes her fishing in the middle of the night & calls her Stunt. Sheb has always promised he’ll one day take her to the moonscape of northern Ontario, where astronauts train; instead he writes a note, blows up a shoulder-pad factory, & leaves. His heartbroken daughter is left behind with her mother, the sharp-edged former ingenue Mink, & her sister, the death-obsessed & hauntingly beautiful Immaculata. After a fake funeral for Sheb, Mink vanishes too. Eugenia & Immaculata, left alone, double in age overnight. Immaculata becomes a swan-like giantess, & soon finds her calling caring for Leopold, a diseased & irresistible malcontent down the street. Eugenia, however, stays the same: dark and diminutive, & bereft. She finds herself a bicycle & sets off to track down her father, encountering an astronaut & a waitress named Cupid along the way.Stunt is the first novel by one of Canada’s most acclaimed playwrights.
