In this gripping debut, a young Cree woman's dreams lead her on a
perilous journey of self-discovery that ultimately forces her to
confront the toll of a legacy of violence on her family, her
community, and the land they call home. When Mackenzie wakes up
with a severed crow's head in her hands, she panics. Only moments
earlier she had been fending off masses of birds in a snow-covered
forest. In bed, when she blinks, the head disappears. Night after
night, Mackenzie's dreams return her to a memory from before her
sister Sabrina's untimely death: a weekend at the family's
lakefront campsite, long obscured by a fog of guilt. But when the
waking world starts closing in, too - crows stalk her every move
around the city; she gets threatening text messages from someone
claiming to be Sabrina - Mackenzie knows this is more than she can
handle alone. Travelling north to her rural hometown in Alberta,
she finds her family still steeped in the same grief that she ran
away to Vancouver to escape. They welcome her back, but their shaky
reunion only seems to intensify her dreams - and make them more
dangerous. What really happened that night at the lake, and what
did it have to do with Sabrina's death? Only a bad Cree would put
their family at risk, but what if whatever has been calling
Mackenzie home was already inside her?
After Realism: 24 Stories for the 21st Century is the first
anthology to represent the generation of millennial writers now
making their mark. Diverse, sophisticated, and ambitious in scope,
the short stories in this ground-breaking book are an essential
starting point for anyone interested in daring alternatives to the
realist tradition that dominated 20th century English-language
fiction. After Realism offers twenty-five distinctive talents who
are pushing against the boundaries of the “real” in
aesthetically and politically charged ways—forging their styles
from influences that range from myth to autofiction, sci-fi to
fairy tale, documentary to surrealism. Even those who continue to
work in the realist tradition are doing so critically, with an eye
to renovation. The selection is accompanied by comprehensive and
provocative essay by editor AndrÉ Forget that explains the themes,
tendencies, and concerns of this group. In bearing witness to an
extraordinary flowering of contemporary fiction, After Realism will
supply a new standard for Canadian writing.
