***ALISTAIR MACLEOD PRIZE FOR SHORT FICTION: SHORTLIST***
Award-winning author Bridget Canning returns with an incisive and unsettling collection that considers what it means to be good-or to be a villain-in our relationships with others.
No One Knows about Us is a collection of short fiction about how we find connection in a disconnected world. Relationships exist under the wire, and conversations and revelations occur in secret pockets, both literally and physically. The characters conduct secret acts of vengeance, kindness, and vigilantism motivated by their hidden yearnings, grudges, losses, fears, and fixations.
About this Author
Reviews
"One of Canning's greatest gifts as a writer is her ability to weave complex plotlines together throughout her narrative, offering readers little snippets that keep us wanting to know more as we get closer to the end."
"Many of the stories in the collection require readers to sit comfortably with moral ambiguity...Canning's fiction is as intriguing for what it leaves out as for what gets included..."
"In style, she doesn't give into the pretty. There's grit and funk, even at festive outings and a family encircling a terminally ill parent. But there's snap, backbone, and gratitude too."
