My Best Stories

"Royal Beatings" shows us right away how far we are from the romantic world of happy endings. "The Albanian Virgin" smashes the idea that all of her stories are set in B.C. or in Ontario's "Alice Munro Country." "A Wilderness Station" breaks short story rules by transporting us back to the 1830s and then jumping... [Read More]

In others time is telescoped: a young girl finds in the course of an evening that the mother she adores,... [Read More]
