Celebrate Short Story Month with an Anthology of Canadian Short Stories from the LPG
At this point, it seems safe to say that pretty much anyone who identifies as a bit of a bookworm is aware that the short story is currently enjoying a bit of a renaissance. In Canada this is in no small part due to the recent Nobel Prize win by the master of the format, Alice Munro. Given this rediscovered love of the short story it was only a matter of time before it got its own celebratory month treatment National Poetry Month. In fact, May 2013 was celebrated as the first ever International Short Story Month.
