Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark special edition celebrating the 35th anniversary of the Journey Prize. Since its inception in 1989, the Journey Prize anthology has been widely celebrated for introducing readers to a who’s-who of up-and-coming Canadian literary voices, many of whom have gone on to become some of our most beloved writers. This special thirty-fifth-anniversary edition of Canada’s most prestigious annual fiction anthology gathers thirty-one timeless stories from throughout the prize’s history—some contemporary classics, some hidden gems—as chosen by two modern masters of the short story, Souvankham Thammavongsa and Alexander MacLeod, who are themselves previous Journey Prize contributors. After her Olympic ski-jumper husband lifts off but never comes down, a woman counters the world’s doubts with her own leap of faith. A daughter reflects on the simple ritual she shared with her father—and the moment when her unconditional love for him was called into question. An Indigenous Elder recounts an alternative creation story of Ah-damn and Evening to a trio of anthropologists. After months of trying to sell the worthless sports card collection his no-good father left behind, a boy is unprepared for a bizarre encounter with the “pile of human being” who wants to buy a card to complete his collection. A mother and child contend with the strange after-effects of an unusual multi-course meal. Infighting, blatant favouritism, and judging irregularities mar a living-room beauty pageant as four sisters vie for the title of Miss Canada. A carpet collector reimagines his family’s fractured history by weaving new tapestries to tell their stories. The last words of a fifty-year-old pet parakeet leads to the first in a series of unfortunate events. Marvellously eclectic, constantly surprising, and full of vibrant life, these glittering stories speak to the power of the short story and the extraordinary impact the Journey Prize continues to make on Canadian literature. Journey is a gift for readers and writers alike. Featuring an introduction by the editors, and stories by André Alexis, Michael Christie, Alicia Elliott, Jessica Grant, Kevin Hardcastle, Angélique Lalonde, Annabel Lyon, Thomas King, Téa Mutonji, Saleema Nawaz, Heather O'Neill, Eden Robinson, Naben Ruthnum, and Madeleine Thien, among others.

Among the twelve stories: Over the course of a long, hot summer with her invalid grandmother and a free-spirited babysitter, a young girl becomes increasingly aware of the complexities and ambiguities that lie on the other side of childhood. In a wistful tale about the enduring strength of family ties, a young Eskimo boy is determined to take on the responsibility of finding a new home for his infant brother. The sudden and unexpected death of his father prompts a man to embark on a meditative journey through his own peripatetic life. The pretensions and hypocrisies of a small town are comically brought to the surface during a Sunday Mass. After a fateful encounter, a defiant teenage girl and a solitary backwoodsman forge an uneasy life together amidst the wilderness of the Yukon. The progress of a married man’s seduction by a student is coolly observed by his wife. In a moving exploration of the power of memory and the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s, a woman tends to her now-elderly foster father. The winner of the $10,000 Journey Prize for 1999 was Alissa York for “The Back of the Bear’s Mouth.”
