• Sommario/riassunto: The short story occupies a prominent place in Canadian literature and never more so than since Alice Munro's 2013 Nobel Prize for Literature. Kruk's work is a singularly original exploration of the layered "double-voicing" in the short fiction of eight acclaimed Canadian writers.
