Read my review of Jamie Zeppa’s novel “Every Time We Say Goodbye” in the Literary Review of Canada.
recent and forthcoming Writing
review "Every Time We Say Goodbye"
Story "A Little Winter"
Upcoming in Oberon Press’s Best Canadian Stories
The annual Best American Stories first appeared in 1915 under the editorial supervision of Edward J. O’Brien. The next year O’Brien wrote that he was driven to the conclusion that the book was developing a new literary form, organically different from everything that had gone before. Over the years, the work of writers like Sherwood Anderson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ring Lardner, Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner was published. Oberon’s Best Canadian Stories has followed a broadly similar pattern of development, with the difference that we in Canada started more than 50 years later. To this day the series continues to sustain and encourage the little-known writer who is turning out the best stories the country has to offer.
Story "Something about the Animal"
and accompanying essay upcoming in The New Quarterly 118
