The Journey Prize Stories 33 by David Chariandy
For over thirty years, The Journey Prize Stories has consistently introduced readers to the next generation of great Canadian writers. The 33rd edition of Canada's most prestigious annual fiction anthology proudly continues this tradition by celebrating the best emerging Black writers in the country, as selected by a jury comprising internationally acclaimed, award-winning writers David Chariandy, Esi Edugyan, and Canisia Lubrin. We are also making an important change to the Journey Prize to make it more equitable. Beginning with this edition, each writer whose story is selected for inclusion in the anthology will be considered a Writers' Trust McClelland & Stewart Journey Prize winner and will receive 1,000 CAD.Esi Edugyan graduated from Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars with a master's degree in writing. Her work has appeared in a number of anthologies, including Joyce Carol Oates' Best New American Voices 2003 and Revival: An Anthology of Black Canadian Literature (2006). The Second Life of Samuel Tyne, her debut novel, was published worldwide. It was a Hurston/Wright Legacy Award nominee, a More Book Lust selection, and a New York Public Library selection for 2004's Books to Remember. Her novel Half-Blood Blues won the Scotiabank Giller Award and was a Man Booker Prize nominee in 2011.
Fellowships have been awarded to Edugyan in the United States, Scotland, Iceland, Germany, Hungary, Finland, Spain, and Belgium. She has taught creative writing at the University of Victoria and Johns Hopkins University. She is currently based in Victoria, British Columbia.
