The Oxford Book of Stories by Canadian Women in English
Author: Rosemary SullivanPublisher: Don Mills, Ont. : Oxford University Press
ISBN: 9780195414554
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 620
Book Description
Canadian women have made remarkable contributions to world literature over the past 150 years, especially to the short story genre. Carol Shields won the Pulitzer Prize, and Margaret Atwood, Janette Turner Hospital, and Shields were all short-listed for the Booker Award. Now available in paperback, this book offers work from not only those prestigious names, but assembles a diverse cross-section of Canadian women's writing. Together, the fifty stories included here form a kind of collective narrative of women's experience past and present. All the stories are about women: in childhood, adolescence, maturity, old age; in relationships as daughters, sisters, lovers, mothers; and in a variety of social and political contexts. Their authors reflect Canada's racial and ethnic diversity as well as its geographic expanse, and the writers cover a wide range of styles from documentary narrative, romance adventure, and satiric social comedy to science fiction and postmodern metafiction. But regardless of genre, they all write confidently and eloquently about women's lives. No reader will fail to be amused, enthralled, intrigued, and invigorated.
