About Obscure CanLit Mama
- Carrie Snyder
- I'm mother of four, writer, dreamer, planner, runner, photographer, taking time for a cup of coffee in front of this computer screen. My days are full, yet I keep asking: how can I fill them just a little bit more -- with depth, with care, with pleasure.
My books
The Juliet Stories. Finalist for the 2012 Governor General's Literary Award for fiction. Look for it in Canadian bookstores. Or order by clicking on the cover and visiting House of Anansi.
Juliet in the news
- "A stream of sensual imagery that grows more sophisticated with each page." - The Walrus
- "At least as mature and powerful as several recent award winners" - Montreal Gazette
- "Heart-stopping moments ... are a thrill ride for the reader." - Globe & Mail
- "One of the 10 Canadian women you need to read now" - CBC Books
- "The kind of nourishment that comes from a moving story, beautifully told." - Quill & Quire
Love The Juliet Stories?
The Juliet Song, "Goodnight"
An original lullaby written and performed by Carrie for her character Gloria in the story "Juliet Wears Black." Click on the photo to listen.
My first book. (Penguin, 2004.) Fresh and quirky as the day it was born. You want a copy? I've got a copy. Just ask..

Reminds me of my house. What is scary about that is that we have one less child than you do and Lauchy only went to 5 houses. I think we have more than what is on your counter! Very scary!
