Shortlisted for the Governor General’s Award, these first short stories from Terry Griggs crackle with energy and heralded one of the most original voices to appear out of Canada in the last several decades. The stories in Quickening are eccentric, wildly inventive, whimsical and fantastic. Her narrative energy sweeps us along, though the real delight of these stories is the gorgeousness of the writing, the rich and varied word play of a writer drunk on language. If you’ve not yet read Terry Griggs’s short fiction you are in for a tremendous surprise, and a real treat.

The fifth title in the Biblioasis Renditions series of important Canadian reprints, this edition of Quickening contains a new introduction by the author and two other stories which were not included in the first edition of the collection.
