ONE BIRD'S CHOICE

Iain Reid

A Year in the Life of an Overeducated, Underemployed Twenty-Something Who Moves Back Home

Meet Iain Reid: an overeducated, underemployed twenty-something who moves back in with his lovable but eccentric parents on their hobby farm. But what starts out as a temporary arrangement turns into a year-long extended stay, in which Iain finds himself fighting with the farm fowl, taking fashion advice from the elderly, fattening up on home-cooked food, and ultimately easing (perhaps a little too comfortably) into the semi-retired lifestyle. Hilarious and heartwarming, One Bird's Choice is an endearingly funny comic memoir that bridges the divide between the Boomer and Boomerang generations.

Iain Reid's writing has appeared on several CBC Radio shows, including Definitely Not the Opera, Metro Morning, Here and Now, and GO. His work has also been published in newspapers and magazines, including the Globe and Mail, the Iceland Review Online, and Atlantica Magazine. A graduate of Queen's University, Iain Reid was born in Ottawa in 1981, and now lives in Kingston. One Bird's Choice is his first book.
