New book of short stories by Kathy Page: Paradise & Elsewhere

Kathy Page writerThose who have attended workshops with Kathy Page over the years might like to know that she has a new book of short stories out, Paradise & Elsewhere, described by her publisher as ‘a collection of dark fables at once familiar and entirely strange’. The book – as a physical object – looks and feels beautiful and the writing is as sharp as a knife.

The book has already attracted warm praise from established names like Amy Bloom and Barbara Gowdy. ‘The unforgettable prose is moody, shape-shifting, provocative and always as compelling as a strong light at the end of a road you hesitate to walk down…but will’ (Amy Bloom) and ‘Kathy Page is a massive talent: wise, smart, very funny and very humane’ (Barbara Gowdy). And a fantastic review of the book has just appeared in the Winnipeg Review: ‘the stories in this collection are realistic, feminist, apocalyptic, fairytale, cautionary tale, origin story, mystery. She’s got it all, and she is unapologetic about delivering the goods.’

It’s all true! More information on her Canadian publisher’s website, here Biblioasis
