If you feel like you missed out on a lot of good short fiction in the last twelve months, or want to take your first step into short fiction (join us! Short fiction is great!), then I highly recommend picking up Best Canadian Stories 2026, and diving in.
Nothing Could Be Further from the Truth is peopled by strays — those who fall for the allure of nostalgia, grapple with male fragility, deny familial trauma, and acquiesce to authority. Resignation and reinvention are always a breath apart for these characters whose lives have fallen short of their dreams, and for others who never expected more.
