This collection of twenty-two stories written by well-known and not-so-well known Canadian writers represents the variety and excellence of story-telling on the prairies in the 1970s. The essential acts of naming, telling, re-telling—those processes through which “the fiction makes us real”—take us through and to such places and states as “Childhood and Beyond”, “Winning Free”, “Necessary Knowledge”, and “The Ends of Things.”
