Publisher's Synopsis
For over two decades, The Journey Prize Stories has been presenting the best short stories published each year by some of Canada's most exciting new writers. Previous contributors have gone on to win prestigous literacy awards and honours, including the Booker Prize and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize. The stories included in the anthology are contenders for the £10,000 Journey Prize, which is made possible by Pulitzer Prize-winning author James A. Michener's donation of Canadia royalties from his novel Journey. The winner is announced in fall 2011.
