Description

Now in its fiftieth year, Best Canadian Stories has long championed the short story form and highlighted the work of many writers who have gone on to shape the Canadian literary canon. Margaret Atwood, Clark Blaise, Tamas Dobozy, Mavis Gallant, Douglas Glover, Norman Levine, Rohinton Mistry, Alice Munro, Leon Rooke, Diane Schoemperlen, Kathleen Winter, and many others have appeared in its pages over the decades, making Best Canadian Stories the go-to source for what's new in Canadian fiction writing for close to five decades. Selected by guest editor Paige Cooper, the 2020 edition draws together both newer and established writers to shape an engaging and luminous mosaic of writing in this country today-a continuation of not only a series, but a legacy in Canadian letters.

For years the collection has been the place to discover Canadian writers, and the most recent edition is no different ... [Paige Coopers] choices are impressive. Even if a particular story isnt to ones taste, you can still admire the skill. Realism abuts surrealism, comic insight sits gladly with tragedy. The comfort of one world is shattered by the disquiet of another ... This is a great collection waiting to be experienced.Winnipeg Free Press Praise for Best Canadian Stories A splendid collection.
