In Just Pervs, Jess Taylor's sophomore story collection, contemporary views of female sexuality are subverted and complicated -- no longer are women figures to be acted upon my men; here they have agency over their desires and their bodies. Through the characters in these stories we discover how sex can be many things: it can be gross, shameful, exhilarating, hidden, or open, but it is always complicated. Just Pervs explores the strange oppression and illumination that desire can create, the bewilderment of adolescence, the barriers to intimacy we discover within ourselves and the ones that are imposed on us. All while speaking honestly and openly about sex and championing expressions of female sexuality.

Beginning in the 1890s, reaching its first full realization by modernist writers in the 1920s, and brought to its heyday during the Canadian Renaissance starting in the 1960s, the short story has become Canada's flagship genre. It continues to attract the country's most accomplished and innovative writers today, among them Margaret Atwood, Mavis Gallant, Alice Munro, Carol Shields, and many others. Yet in contrast to the stature and popularity of the genre and the writers who partake in it, surprisingly little literary criticism and theory has been devoted to the Canadian short story. This collection redresses that imbalance by providing the first collection of critical interpretations of a range of thirty well-known and often-anthologized Canadian short stories from the genre's beginnings through the twentieth century. A historical survey of the genre introduces the volume and a timeline comparing the genre's development in Canada, the US, and Great Britain via representative examples completes it. The collection is geared both to specialists in and to students of Canadian literature. For the latter it is of particular benefit that the volume provides not only a collection of interpretations, but a comprehensive introduction to the history of the Canadian short story. Reingard M. Nischik is professor and chair of American Literature at the University of Constance, Germany.

A Collection of Short Stories not only incorporates storylines of love and modern problems evident in todays society but also personal experiences of a miners daughter. Author Gillian Fletcher-Edwards grew up in a mining family of the fifties and sixties, from which many of her stories and life philosophies grew. Marged Evans is the story of two people who drifted apart. Marged allowed the breakup to affect her life, but her receipt of a Christmas card from her long-lost lover changes everything. The Bully is apt for people of every age and culture and will encourage people to deal with bullies in a healthy manner. The Annual Outing is a reflection of the miners holidays when, regardless of the weather, people in droves escaped the bleakness of mining life. The Cottage on the Hill: A Monologue illustrates how people are often undervalued for their work and general loyalty, passed over for yes-men. The Raindrop shows how people can change from being friendly to hostile when necessities are scarce. Fletcher-Edwards hopes that through her stories, people will not forget the struggles that miners familieswherever in the world they liveoften experience.

From M.G. Vassanji, two-time Giller Prize winner and winner of the Governor General's Literary Award, comes a finely crafted collection of short fiction that explores the tensions between remembering past homes and belonging in new ones. Weaving between wistful memories of youthful ambition and the compromises and comforts of age, travelling between the streets of Dar es Salaam and Toronto, the characters in these stories must negotiate distance--between here and there; between lives imagined and lives lived; between expectation and disappointment; between inclusion and exclusion. Throughout, Vassanji engages passionately with the intellectual and political questions that inspire him as a writer and a citizen, while always matching the energy of his ideas with the empathy and emotional depth he invests in his characters. As with all Vassanji's finest work, What You Are stands as a model of artistic integrity and clarity of vision.

The Short Story after Apartheid offers the first major study of the anglophone short story in South Africa since apartheid’s end. By focusing on the short story this book complicates models of South African literature dominated by the novel and contributes to a much-needed generic and formalist turn in postcolonial studies. Literary texts are sites of productive struggle between formal and extra-formal concerns, and these brief, fragmentary, elliptical, formally innovative stories offer perspectives that reframe or revise important concerns of post-apartheid literature: the aesthetics of engaged writing, the politics of the past, class and race, the legacies of violence, and the struggle over the land. Through an analysis of key texts from the period by Nadine Gordimer, Ivan Vladislavić, Zoë Wicomb, Phaswane Mpe, and Henrietta Rose-Innes, this book assesses the place of the short story in post-apartheid writing and develops a fuller model of how artworks allow and disallow forms of social thought.
