Journey: Celebrating the Journey Prize Selected Stories 1989-2023
A Winnipeg Free Press Best Fiction Book of 2024
A landmark special edition celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Journey Prize.
Since its inception in 1989,âŻthe Journey Prize anthology has been widely celebrated for introducing readers to a whoâs-who of up-and-coming Canadian literary voices, many of whom have gone on to become some of our most beloved writers. This special thirty-fifth-anniversary edition of Canadaâs most prestigious annual fiction anthology gathers thirty-one timeless stories from throughout the prizeâs historyâsome contemporary classics, some hidden gemsâas chosen by two modern masters of the short story, Souvankham Thammavongsa and Alexander MacLeod, who are themselves previous Journey Prize contributors.
After her Olympic ski-jumper husband lifts off but never comes down, a woman counters the worldâs doubts with her own leap of faith. A daughter reflects on the simple ritual she shared with her fatherâand the moment when her unconditional love for him was called into question. An Indigenous Elder recounts an alternative creation story of Ah-damn and Evening to a trio of anthropologists. After months of trying to sell the worthless sports card collection his no-good father left behind, a boy is unprepared for a bizarre encounter with the âpile of human beingâ who wants to buy a card to complete his collection. A mother and child contend with the strange after-effects of an unusual multi-course meal. Infighting, blatant favouritism, and judging irregularities mar a living-room beauty pageant as four sisters vie for the title of Miss Canada. A carpet collector reimagines his familyâs fractured history by weaving new tapestries to tell their stories. The last words of a fifty-year-old pet parakeet leads to the first in a series of unfortunate events.
Marvellously eclectic, constantly surprising, and full of vibrant life, these glittering stories speak to the power of the short story and the extraordinary impact the Journey Prize continues to make on Canadian literature. Journey is a gift for readers and writers alike.
Featuring an introduction by the editors, and stories by André Alexis, Michael Christie, Alicia Elliott, Jessica Grant, Kevin Hardcastle, Angélique Lalonde, Annabel Lyon, Thomas King, Téa Mutonji, Saleema Nawaz, Heather O'Neill, Eden Robinson, Naben Ruthnum, and Madeleine Thien, among others.
