    Summary:

    Dominoes at the Crossroads maps an alternate Canada—one crisscrossed by a Caribbean diaspora seeking futures, portals to the past, and music. In this collection of stories, Kaie Kellough's characters navigate race, history, and coming of age by way of their confessions and dreams. Through the eyes of jazz musicians, hitchhikers, quiet suburbanites, student radicals, secret agents, historians, and their fugitive ancestors, Kellough guides us from the cobblestones of Montreal's Old Port to the foliage of a South American rainforest, from a basement in wartime Paris to an underground antique shop in Montréal during the October Crisis, allowing the force of imagination to tip the balance of time like a line of dominoes.
