Laita  (English, Paperback, Mitra Atreyo)

Canapè Collection Laita, is a curation of six fictional short stories which delve into themes of love, loss, and loneliness. All tales in this collection focus on imperfect or damaged characters whose journeys of self-discovery enable them to overcome their own indecisions and faults. The Selection: The Morning After After a painter loses a precious colour imperative to complete his painting, he goes a journey of self-discovery, realizing that the colour he seeks will perhaps never be found again. Craft of Ignorance An indecisive afternoon in the life of a young woman as she struggles to decide whether or not she is emotionally ready to meet her past love. Sandal The Snowman A fairy tale about a travelling snowman who embarks on a journey to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, unaware of the journey’s consequences. Stuffed A short poem wherein a young girl bids farewell to her innocent youth. When We Sleep Together An allegorical reflection into the influence of the fantastical on the real, in a tale embedded in insecurity and infidelity. Jarvi The Pianist: Hill of Lost Hope A pianist takes an after-dark stroll on a haunted hill in hopes to rekindle with his deceased love and find inspiration to complete the first song of his comeback album.
