Summary:
For more than thirty years, this celebrated anthology has introduced readers to the next generation of great Canadian
writers
. With settings ranging from a Saskatchewan wheat field marked by crop circles to a dystopian metropolis where people are under constandt surveillance, the twelve
stories
in this collection represent the year'
s

short fiction by some of our most exciting emerging voices. An aspiring artist looking for inspiration in the "aliveness of the desert" gets less--and more--than she bargained for when she signs up for a residency at a roadside motel. After years of toiling to pay off a debt that has devastated his family, a young Chinese fisherman makes a magical catch that will change the course of his life. As a populist candidate stands poised to triumph at a political convention, his campaign strategist and childhood
best
friend reflects on the dark legacy of their relationship. A brutal assault on a Toronto taxi driver leads his friend on a desperate search for answers. When troubling
stories
of women'
s
encounters with aliens start to dominate the news cycle, a reporter reluctantly returns to her hometown to cover the phenomenon. A carpet collector reimagines his family'
s
fractured history by weaving
new
tapestries to tell their
stories
. Unsure of whether his client is really dying, an end-of-life gift professional must assess the man'
s
extravagant last wish. A Ktunaxa grandmother tells a parable of why you shouldn't speak to Kupi (owl) at night.
