In addition to presenting the best stories published each year by new authors,
The Journey Prize Stories 17 now features an introduction by the jury, as well
as comments from the writers on the inspirations for their stories.
Among the stories this year:
Father Brébeuf and the Hurons of Sainte-Marie are the unlikely obstacles
standing between a young girl and her dream of going to Marineland.
The unusual mementoes in a university student's scrapbook bear witness
to the aftermath of a shocking act of violence. In a story that moves
from Toronto's Royal Canadian Yacht Club to Sri Lanka's most exclusive hotel,
a teenage boy's attempt to embarrass his father during an important dinner has
unintended results. A developmentally disabled teenager is drawn into disturbing
encounters with the three women who play cards with his mother. An unexpected
commission from newly independent India gives the uncompromising and visionary
architect Le Corbusier the chance to build the city of his dreams. When a girl
meets her father's New York mistress, what she discovers about the heartbreaking
ambivalence of love will haunt her in the years to come.
