Description: The short stories put together in this anthology reflect `varied angles of vision' lodged in the `lived life' and `crafted fiction' of Canada. They point to the eclectic Canadian culture which aims at a friction-free heterogeneity rather than forced homogenization, a discord-resolving co-existence rather than unpractical fusion. The stories stand out for their refreshing perceptions and controlled craft, marked by depth, power and artistry.
