Lindsay Pereira’s ‘Super’ Explores Immigrant Dreams and Hostile Resentment

Lindsay Pereira wrote a book called "Super" about a young man from Punjab who wants to move to Toronto.

He meets friends and faces hard choices like debt and a tough job market.

In Toronto, a man named Maynard hates newcomers and posts hateful messages online.

The story shows both the hopes of immigrants and the fear of locals.

Pereira wanted to show both sides fairly, not to pick a winner.

He used short dates to tell the story in quick moments.

The book also talks about a program that let people work in Canada but was sometimes abused.

The author says he wants readers to decide who is right or wrong.

The book is a mix of real feelings and real places.
