| Summary: | "Canadian fiction used to be all about angst on a farm. In recent years a crop of new writers has transformed the genre, which is now concerned with anaesthetized suburbs, seedy apartments and women who dye their hair the colour of toxic waste. Nowadays we're looking for different qualities. In fact, we no longer look for the work of Canadian writers at all. We publish the work of writers, the best writers, writers like Terence Young with his sweet lyricism, Zsuzsi Gartner with her sparkling wit, Claire Tacon with her special darkness and the new work of Laura Boudreau and many others. Best Canadian Stories is now 41 years old. Buy a copy and read it."--Publisher's description. |
