The breathtaking debut short story collection--first published in 1989--from one of Canada's most original and influential writers. Newly available in a special reissue edition from Knopf Canada. "This is political art at its searing best."-- The Women's Review of Books Since her the appearance of her novel In Another Place, Not Here , which was a New York Times Notable Book in 1998, award-winning author Dionne Brand has become one of the most revered figures in Canadian fiction. Sans Souci is Brand's bold fiction debut, collecting eleven stories that breathe life and language into the lives of women in the Caribbean and the Black diaspora, often dealing with the process--and aftermath--of transit and arrival. Brand's fiction dissects sexual violence, racial prejudice, and war, while attending to the full spectrum of experiences of those who live in the shadow of a shared colonial past--experiences encompassing both joy and sorrow, release and constraint. Now available for the first time in more than a decade, Sans Souci and Other Stories is a foundational work from one of our most cherished literary artists and thinkers.
