For over a decade,The Journey Prize Anthologyhas been the premier showcase for Canada’s finest up-and-coming literary voices. In this eleventh edition, the anthology continues its tradition of presenting the best of Canada’s new writers. Among the twelve stories: Over the course of a long, hot summer with her invalid grandmother and a free-spirited babysitter, a young girl becomes increasingly aware of the complexities and ambiguities that lie on the other side of childhood. In a wistful tale about the enduring strength of family ties, a young Eskimo boy is determined to take on the responsibility of finding a new home for his infant brother. The sudden and unexpected death of his father prompts a man to embark on a meditative journey through his own peripatetic life. The pretensions and hypocrisies of a small town are comically brought to the surface during a Sunday Mass. After a fateful encounter, a defiant teenage girl and a solitary backwoodsman forge an uneasy life together amidst the wilderness of the Yukon. The progress of a married man’s seduction by a student is coolly observed by his wife. In a moving exploration of the power of memory and the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s, a woman tends to her now-elderly foster father. The winner of the $10,000 Journey Prize for 1999 was Alissa York for “The Back of the Bear’s Mouth.”

Newfoundland writer Libby Creelman finds the emotional heart of her characters — characters continually seeking, and breaking, connections with others, though they rarely know it. A girl welcomes cruelty into her life in an attempt to get closer to a father living with chronic pain. A woman obsessed with her lineage draws her family into inheriting more than they bargained for. A young boy, burdened by the adults with whom he keeps company, arrives at the end of a brief sailing trip directing their futures as well as his own. A woman returns home to spend a weekend with old high school friends and at last understands something about her mother that had been trailing her for years. "Suddenly her voice turns soft, almost tender. But you know what you used to say at bedtime, don't you? You used to hold my face in your hands, and say, You're the best mommy in the universe.'' '... She wants us to savour the image of me holding her face, cherishing her, reading her mind." These are stories about dislocation and about home -- about leaving it, returning to it, needing it, rejecting it -- crafted in a style that is controlled, yet sympathetic.

For more than thirty years, this celebrated anthology has introduced readers to the next generation of great Canadian writers. With settings ranging from a Saskatchewan wheat field marked by crop circles to a dystopian metropolis where people are under constant surveillance, the twelve stories in this collection represent the year's best short fiction by some of our most exciting emerging voices. An aspiring artist looking for inspiration in the "aliveness of the desert" gets less--and more--than she bargained for when she signs up for a residency at a roadside motel. After years of toiling to pay off a debt that has devastated his family, a young Chinese fisherman makes a magical catch that will change the course of his life. As a populist candidate stands poised to triumph at a political convention, his campaign strategist and childhood best friend reflects on the dark legacy of their relationship. A brutal assault on a Toronto taxi driver leads his friend on a desperate search for answers. When troubling stories of women's encounters with aliens start to dominate the news cycle, a reporter reluctantly returns to her hometown to cover the phenomenon. A carpet collector reimagines his family's fractured history by weaving new tapestries to tell their stories. Unsure of whether his client is really dying, an end-of-life gift professional must assess the man's extravagant last wish. A Ktunaxa grandmother tells a parable of why you shouldn't speak to Kupi (owl) at night.
