{"product_id":"the-canadian-short-story","title":"Canadian Short Story","description":"\u003cp\u003eNo other person has done more to celebrate and encourage the short story in Canada than John Metcalf. For more than five decades he has worked tirelessly as editor, anthologist, writer, critic, and teacher to help shape our understanding of the form and what it can do. The long-time editor of the yearly\u003cem\u003e Best Canadian Stories \u003c\/em\u003eanthology, as well as a fiction editor at some of the pre-eminent literary presses in the country for more than forty years, he has worked to support and champion several generations of our best writers. Literature in Canada would be far less without his efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eSifting through a lifetime of reading, writing, and thinking about the short story in this country, and where it fits within the larger currents of world literature, Metcalf’s magisterial \u003cem\u003eThe Canadian Short Story\u003c\/em\u003e offers the most authoritative book on the subject to date. Most importantly, it includes an expanded and reconsidered Century List, Metcalf’s critical guide to the best Canadian short story collections of the last 100 years. But more than a critical book, \u003cem\u003eThe Canadian Short Story\u003c\/em\u003e is a love-letter to the form, a passionate defense of the best of our literature, and a championing of those books and writers most often over-looked. It is a guide not only to what to read, but also one, its author’s most fervent desire, which aims to make better readers of us all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Biblioasis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32124186001491,"sku":"","price":22.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781771960847.jpg?v=1765288840","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-canadian-short-story","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
