Product Description
The first multi-genre historical anthology of Alberta writing since 1979, this anthology collects twentieth century short fiction, excerpts from novels, and non-fiction. This long overdue anthology explores what writers -- past and present -- can tell us what it means to be Albertan -- and Canadian. Each piece is preceded by an introduction with a literary biography and critical discussion of the selection that situates the piece in the author's overall repertoire.
