Coles After Realism: 24 Stories For The 21st Century at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
After Realism: 24 Stories for the 21st Century is the first anthology to represent the generation of millennial writers now making their mark. Diverse, sophisticated, and ambitious in scope, the short stories in this ground-breaking book are an essential starting point for anyone interested in daring alternatives to the realist tradition that dominated 20th century English-language fiction. After Realism offers twenty-five distinctive talents who are pushing against the boundaries of the “real” in aesthetically and politically charged ways—forging their styles from influences that range from myth to autofiction, sci-fi to fairy tale, documentary to surrealism. Even those who continue to work in the realist tradition are doing so critically, with an eye to renovation. The selection is accompanied by comprehensive and provocative essay by editor André Forget that explains the themes, tendencies and concerns of this group. In bearing witness to an extraordinary flowering of contemporary fiction, After Realism will supply a new standard for Canadian writing.
Contributors include: Jean-Marc Ah Sen , Carleigh Baker , Paige Cooper , David Huebert , Jessica Johns , Cody Klippenstein , Julie Mannell , Sofia Mostaghimi , Téa Mutonji , Fawn Parker , Casey Plett , Rudrapriya Rathore , Naben Ruthnum , John Elizabeth Stintzi , and Gavin Thomson .
