Muskoka Author's Association Short Fiction talk

I had such a wonderful time talking about short fiction at Muskoka Authors Association last night. So grateful it was so well attended and that I got to connect with such a talented group of writers. It was so much fun to read a new short story from my new collection too.

In honour of the conversation, I wanted to make a list of some of the short stories and collections I mentioned in the talk, plus a few more I just thought of that I think are amazing and must reads:

Heather O'Neill, I Know Angelo (from the Zoe Whittall edited collection Geeks, Misfits and Outlaws) and Daydreams of Angels

Zoe Whittall- Seven Stops Time and Half Pipe

Denis Johnson- Jesus' Son

Neil Smith- Bang Crunch

Margaret Atwood- Dancing Girls, Wilderness Tips and Bluebeard's Egg

David Bezmosgis- Natasha and Other Stories

Cherie Dimaline- A Gentle Habit

Banana Yoshimoto-Lizard

Michael Christie- The Beggar's Garden

Amy Jones- What Boys Like

Kris Bertin-Bad Things Happen
