In 2013, the Nobel Prize for Literature was for the first time awarded to a short story writer, and to a Canadian, Alice Munro. The award focused international attention on a genre that had long been thriving in Canada, particularly since the 1960s. This book traces the development and highlights of the Canadian short story from the late 19th century up to the present. The history and stylistic approaches of the genre are covered, with in-depth examination of exemplary stories by prominent authors.
