Description

Written by authors from Quebec as well as France, the majority of these stories have been published in the last decade and reflect a rich diversity of styles and themes. From Daniel Boulanger‘s exploration of revenge and the desire for recognition in “The Hunter’s Cafe,” to Alain Gerber‘s brief and poetic “You Never Die,” these stories make excellent reading in any language.Introduction
