Coles A Map of What is Missing: Notes on a Divided Body at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON

This is not a story of overcoming. It is the documentation of a fracture. After a hospital visit splits a life into "before" and "now," a man navigates the world with one arm of flesh and one of plastic. Every moment is a negotiation: the weight of a blanket, the heat of a coffee cup, the sound of a light switch, the memory of an itch. Told in a series of visceral, fragmented chapters, the narrative immerses the reader in a landscape of phantom sensations and heightened awareness of the mundane. The constant hum of a refrigerator becomes a heartbeat, a ceiling stain becomes a map, and a prosthetic limb becomes a silent, cold companion. This is a memoir from the inside of a body that is no longer whole, a raw chronicle of the machinery we inhabit and the ghosts that live in the space between.
