✦ Synopsis

Diane Schoemperlen won the Governor General's Award for Fiction with Forms of Devotion , her collection of short stories and pictures. That same distinctive and wonderfully entertaining voice infuses this latest collection, a compendium of 21 stories chosen by Schoemperlen from new, out-of-print and favorite works. " Losing Ground" is a remarkable coming-of-age story; " The Man of My Dreams" pulls us into a place where we too wonder what is real and what is dreamed; and " Forms of Devotion" explores with delicate irony what it means to be faithful in a secular, consumer-driven world. Every one of these pieces shines with Schoemperlen's fresh and often deadpan funny voice, offering a compulsively readable mix of deeply felt emotion and finely wrought intellect. Red Plaid Shirt was shortlisted for the Upper Canada Brewing Company Writers'Craft Award.
