Praise for Some Extremely Boring Drives:

"To use “boring” in a book title takes confidence, to add “extremely” may seem brash, but Marguerite Pigeon deserves to be cocky in naming her first collection of stories."
~ Jade Colbert, Globe and Mail

“Each story reveals a peculiar and unique world peopled by genuinely interesting inhabitants.”
~ Dana Hansen, Quill & Quire

"Driven to extremes, each of Pigeon’s characters is stripped of the coping mechanism that has kept them moving forward; when they’re jolted out of the trance of the ordinary, we don’t know which way they’ll go, or even if they will survive. But one thing is certain—they will never be the same."
~ Kristine Morris, Foreword Reviews

"A robust collection that is memorable from the first page to its last ... [w]ith a book of poetry, a novel, and now this collection of short stories, Pigeon has proven herself a writer of many talents, and one worthy of our attention."
~ Jessica Rose, Room Magazine

“Where the characters are going and whether they are in control is debatable but they’re always behind the wheel, zipping through diverse landscapes without a GPS. Pigeon lures the reader into the backseat with all the tension and anticipation of a road trip without the “are we there yets?”
~ Ali Bryan, author of Roost

“Marguerite Pigeon’s stories bore through the everyday to those pockets where the best story-stuff hides. She captures her characters as they’re driven to extremes, in the sparkling, miserable moments between ordinary and ordinary.”
~ Naomi K. Lewis, author of I Know Who You Remind Me Of
