With only one-tenth the population of the United States, Canada has
achieved a greater diversity of myth, experience, and literary voicing
than its southern neighbor. This anthology gathers twenty-eight
contemporary Canadian authors, some of whom are already well-known in
the U.S., including Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro, Leon Rooke, Mavis
Gallant, Diane Keating, Jacques Ferron, Morley Callaghan, Marie-Claire
Blais, and many others.
