“Combines both emerging and established voices for a fascinating glimpse at the most exciting short fiction coming out of this country.”—Open BookSelected and introduced by David Bergen, Best Canadian Stories 2027 provides a distinctive sample of the best Canadian short fiction published over the last year. A girl accompanies her father on a research trip in Iceland; a writer struggles to maintain his friendship with the man who saved his life; two women connected only by a shared dating history surreptitiously stalk each other on social media; a young man thought dead after disappearing from a protest returns to his loved ones. These fourteen stories draw together an expressive range of characters and narratives, and appeal to both longstanding readers and those looking for an entry point into Canadian literature.
