Heralded as a prairie writer and best known for As For Me and My
House and for his stories of the bleak dust bowl Prairies of the
Great Depression, Sinclair Ross has also written of urban life and,
briefly, of army life, as the stories in this collection
demonstrate. The Race and Other Stories includes previously
uncollected short stories and a chapter from Whir of Gold, here
title "The Race," which stands on its own as a short story.
Furthermore, "Spike," published in French in Liberte in 1969,
appears here for the first time in English. Ross's taut,
economical, rhythmic prose reflects the bleak, spare landscape of
the prairie. The concerns of his novels are equally evident in his
stories: loneliness and alienation, the sense of entrapment, the
imaginative and artistic struggle. This collection of stories will
be of interest to those who wish to better understand one of
Canada's most respected writers and the diversity that can be found
in his writings.
