Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The right story, at the right time, if you happen to be open to it ... can perhaps move you so far outside of yourself that you will not consider going back.” “Like meeting a stranger, much of the pleasure of a story is its unknown power,” writes Best Canadian Stories 2020 guest editor Paige Cooper. “The right story, at the right time, if you happen to be open to it ... can perhaps move you so far outside of yourself that you will not consider going back.” From Festival du Voyageur to the shores of Lake Erie, Tbilisi to Toronto, the Amisk River to a hotel-turned-hospital in the midst of a mysterious pandemic, this wide-ranging anthology brings together the real and the speculative, small towns and big cities, grief and humour, introducing readers to stories that startle us into new understanding—of ourselves and each other, the worlds we inhabit and the ones they help us to imagine.

Download or read book Home Truths written by Mavis Gallant and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a PEN Award winner, these tales ranging from Depression-era Quebec to contemporary Vancouver offer “irresistible storytelling through and through” (Kirkus Reviews). Canada is one of the world’s most diverse and gorgeous countries, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific, with a wealth of experiences and people to match its incredible size and breadth. The nation’s impressive variety is on display in Home Truths, Mavis Gallant’s ode to her home country through stories. Gallant moves effortlessly through time and place, taking the reader from Depression-era Quebec to 1950s Paris to contemporary Vancouver while dealing with the universal themes of the innocence of youth, intrafamily relations, and the expat’s growing feeling of distance from home. The pinnacle of the collection is Gallant’s moving Linnet Muir series, an autobiographical look at a young woman’s return to Montreal at eighteen after living abroad. Home Truths is a compelling testament to Gallant’s enduring grace and humor.
