Dreaming Home

Tags

Dreaming Home, an anthology selected by Bethany Gibson (paper-plates), is another little book stuffed full of great stories—eight of them, all by emerging writers. My favourites were "Personal Effects" by Judith Kalman, about a father leaving his home in Hungary, "Going Native" by Antanas Sileika, about a family of DPs trying to fit into a Canadian suburb in the fifties, "Serendipity" by Michael Crummey, about what happens when your father is too lucky in Newfoundland, and "Devika" by Shauna Singh Baldwin, about a young Indian couple who find their own way to accommodate the expectations of Indian culture into the reality of a new home in Canada. Even with all this good writing, Dreaming Home weighs in at only 5 oz (15 g)—another great bus book.
