Bobby, the father, loses his executive job while his wife Mimi's lucrative home-run business leaps ahead. Their adopted son, Abbie, leverages his internet stardom into the makings of a career, while their adopted daughter, Dee, discovers who she really is. They'll have to navigate the shifting landscapes of commerce and fame in the age of the internet, office politics, gender dynamics, and sexuality in a world that has just seen Brexit, Trump, and heightened climate anxiety. Set in Montreal's west end, \u003ci\u003eThe Reeds\u003c\/i\u003e is about family, love, and nostalgia while exploring the dehumanization of work and the power of art against a backdrop of mid-century modern furniture, shag carpeting, the relentlessness of change, gentrification, and Korean fried chicken. In many ways, \u003ci\u003eThe Reeds\u003c\/i\u003e is an optimistic story about the middle class, its hopes, ambitions, and challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArjun Basu\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the Giller-longlisted \u003ci\u003eWaiting for the Man \u003c\/i\u003e(ECW Press).
