I’ve just received my contributor’s copy of Best Canadian Stories 12. In it are the ten stories the venerable editor John Metcalf has selected as the best of the year. I’m honoured that my “Poppycock” is included along with stories by writers whose work I’ve long admired – Shaena Lambert, Douglas Glover, Stephen Heighton, Lynn Coady, Keath Fraser – as well as stories by newer writers. Visit Oberon Press for more details.
