In a city
known for wealth and prosperity, the divide between haves and have-nots is
rarely clearer than on moving day, when those two worlds come together in
intimate fashion. Violent ex-cons and drug addicts are invited into spacious
homes, entrusted with the care and transport of the possessions of the upper
classes—a unique bridging of two normally segregated
worlds.
Darwin’s Moving is an intriguing and affecting exploration of class divides by a journalist and former mover. Taylor Lambert takes us behind the scenes of a familiar industry that is almost completely undocumented in Canadian literature to reveal the cycles of poverty and addiction that ensnare its workers. This is the Other Calgary, a world populated by transient men and women struggling to survive in a boomtown's shadow.
