A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

In choosing stories for this companion volume to The Oxford Book of Canadian Verse, Margaret Atwood and Robert Weaver have combined their different but complementary experiences of the Canadian short story and their extensive knowledge of the genre. Margaret Atwood is one of Canada's leading short-story writers. Besides her famous novels, she has published two collections, Dancing Girls and Bluebeard's Egg, that contain some of the most widely anthologized modern Canadian stories, and Robert Weaver has edited ten anthologies.
