Quickening
Shortlisted for the Governor General’s Award, these first short stories from Terry Griggs herald one of the most original voices to appear out of Canada in the last several decades. The stories in Quickening are eccentric, wildly inventive, whimsical and fantastic. Her narrative energy sweeps us along, though the real delight of these stories is the gorgeousness of the writing.

October 12, 2020I loved her novels, but in this collection of short stories I discover the breadth and humour and sheer power of her writing. They're wildly inventive and skillfully done. In particular I adored "Oral history" (about kissing in all its varied nuances) and "A Bird Story." If you like to nibble on short stories, this is a collection to feast on that will leave you sated.
