The city of Vancouver means different things to different people, but it is as revered and beloved by its residents as it is by the millions of people who visit every year. It's a diverse, thrumming metropolis and a calm and beautiful recreation destination; it's a young city still striving for identity and a storied settlement rich in legend. And it has been both the inspiration and setting for some of Canada's most interesting fiction.Framed by an incisive introduction from West Coast literary doyen Douglas Coupland, the wide array of short fiction collected in Vancouver Stories reveals just how varied Vancouver really is. Discover this great city through the stories of Pauline Johnson and Emily Carr, through the eyes of such 20th-century literary giants as Alice Munro, Ethel Wilson and Malcolm Lowry, and through the words of more contemporary writers such as William Gibson, Timothy Taylor, Zsuzsi Gartner and Madeline Thien.Spanning a period of nearly 80 years, the 15 stories in this collection present the experience of Vancouver-living here, visiting or just passing through-filtered through the imaginations of some of Canada's most famous fiction stylists."Sooner or later, everyone in the country came to this city by the mountains and the sea. Some just to ogle, many to stay. People here liked it with something that bordered on religious fervour." -from "City of My Dreams" by Zsuzsi Gartner

Self-love is underrated. Everybody looks at themselves and finds all sorts of reasons not to love what they see or they wait for someone else to give them permission to love themselves. You have to stop waiting and start doing and that takes some work. Self-love is not something that just happens - it's a creative process where you dig deep to find your own soul. You have to let go of comparisons which make you feel less than and you have to see your supposed flaws as your gifts. As a woman of color, you think you are at the bottom of the pile but your position is unique and your differences are not your weakness, they are your strength. Once you own that, you can be unstoppable. Self-love is a journey that starts with forgiveness and acceptance of what is. Then it moves on to starting your own revolution of love. It's a soulful revolution where you stop judging yourself and start celebrating yourself instead. You learn to question everything you have always believed about yourself - you wake up! You become conscious and above all, self-aware. You learn what is important to you. You decide what kind of behavior you are not prepared to accept, from yourself or from others, which leads to setting appropriate boundaries. Then you discover that loving yourself is non-negotiable and not stepping into your identity and your power is unacceptable. You have no right to hide and to play it safe, even though it's more comfortable. And then you discover that loving yourself is hard and takes courage and commitment but you are blessed with the creative genius to shape your own world if you would just reach out and grab it with both hands. click the buy button to start reading TODAY

A lot has changed since the last A-to-Z history of Vancouver appeared several decades ago--award-winning historian Daniel Francis captures all of that change and more in this new era-by-era narrative of Canada's Pacific Gateway city. Becoming Vancouver follows the evolution of the city: from early habitation by the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations; to the area's settlement as a mill town; to the "Open City" years of flourishing speakeasies and brothels during the 1920s; to the years of poverty and protest during the 1930s followed by the long wartime and postwar boom to the city's current status as real-estate investment choice of the global super-rich. Tracing decades of transformation, Becoming Vancouver examines the events and personalities that have defined the city's geography, economy and politics. Francis enlivens his text with rich characterizations of the people who shaped Vancouver: determined Chief Joe Capilano, who in 1906 took a delegation to England to appeal directly to King Edward VII for better treatment of Indigenous peoples; brilliant and successful Won Alexander Cumyow, the first recorded person of Chinese descent born in Canada; tireless activist Helena Gutteridge, Vancouver's first woman councillor--just to mention a few. Vancouver has been called a city without a history, partly because of its youth but also because of the way it seems to change so quickly. Historic business blocks here today are replaced by gleaming new glass and steel high-rises tomorrow. Newcomers to the city, arriving by the thousands every year, find few physical reminders of what was before, making a work like Becoming Vancouver so essential. This brisk, engaging narrative makes a compelling case for why local history matters more today than ever.

"In a sense, we haven’t got an identity until somebody tells our story. The fiction makes us real."--Robert Kroetsch in Creation Spanning a period of nearly eighty years, the stories in this collection present the experience of living in Vancouver as filtered through the imagination of many of Canada’s most famous writers. The romantic attitude of some of the early writers is balanced by the more sombre version of many later authors, some of whom show the city as a place of loneliness and corruption. In tone, the stories range from the grimness of Dorothy Livesay’s account of Depression misery, to the irony of Ethel Wilson’s narrative of an evening garden party, to the playfulness of George Bowering’s ellipticla story of student life. Other well-known atuhors include Pauline Johnson, Emily Carr, Malcolm Lowry, Audrey Thomas, Alice Munro, and Joy Kogawa--as well as some who have been undeservedly consigned to obscurity--M.A. Grainger, Bertrand Sinclair, Jean Burton, and William McConnell. The more prolific among the younger writers--Frances Duncan, Cynthia Flood, and Kevin Roberts--are in the process of achieving national recognition. The stories evoke a strong sense of place, of Vancouver’s essential relation to its natural setting--forest, mountains, and sea--and its existence as a modern urban centre. Individual episodes recall the great fire of 1886, turn-of-the-century loggers on Cordova Street, rum-running in the twenties, the internment of Japanese-Canadians after Pearl Harbor, the hippie era, and the modern sub-culture of beer parlours and drugs. Particular locales include downtown streets, the east end, the North Shore, U.B.C, Stanley Park, Kitsilano, and the Vancouver Aquarium. Stories of the city’s social and cultural life describe the process of growing up and growing old, family and marital matters, the Chinese community, and the legends and reality of Native Americans. Vancouver Short Stories indicates some of the ways that a particular locality has been transformed into art that, in turn, enriches our understanding of its reality and enhances our sense of identity.
