SUMMARY:Best Canadian Stories: Toronto Launch
DESCRIPTION:Toronto friends: come on out for a night of short fiction\, as we celebrate the launch of Best Canadian Stories 2026! Guest editor Zsuzsi Gartner\, along with several writers featured in the anthology\, will be reading from their work. Copies will be available for sale and signing courtesy of Queen Books. \nThe launch will take place on Wednesday\, November 26 at 7PM. \nGrab a copy of Best Canadian Stories 2026 here! \nCheck out the full set of Essays\, Stories\, and Poetry here! \nABOUT BEST CANADIAN STORIES 2026 \n“Combines both emerging and established voices for a fascinating glimpse at the most exciting short fiction coming out of this country.”—Open Book \nSelected and introduced by Zsuzsi Gartner\, Best Canadian Stories 2026 provides a distinctive sample of the best Canadian short fiction published over the previous year. Geminis are recruited to fight a war in space; an awkward Christmas dinner escalates around the roadkill main course; an interactive fiction game set in early Quebec becomes devastating and unnervingly strange for the player. These fifteen stories draw together an expressive range of characters and narratives\, and appeal to both longstanding readers and those looking for an entry point into Canadian literature. \nFeaturing: \nShashi Bhat • Julie Bouchard\, translated by Arielle Aaronson • Randy Boyagoda • Grant Buday • Petra Chambers • Sophie Crocker • Bill Gaston • Evan J • Aaron Kreuter • Alex Leslie • Erin MacNair • D.F. McCourt • Rishi Midha • Kaitlin Ruether • Margaret Sweatman
