Frictions
Stories by Women
edited by Rhea Tregebov

"Raw, outrageously funny, disturbing or dreamlike ... these stories are a revelation."
— Michele Landsberg
"Frictions is a heartening book, containing some powerful insights into intolerance in all its guises."
— Toronto Star
"Frictions is ... a prize package ... a treasure chest."
— NOW Magazine

Humour and honesty characterize the short fiction of twenty-eight talented women from the Maritimes to the West coast. Eclectic, gritty, challenging, this anthology explores such themes as sexuality, class, race and inter-generational relationships, reflecting an impressive range of styles and technical approaches. The writers have moved beyond the internal and external constraints that can censor or inhibit. Together they present a vital collection, rich in its breadth of subject and style and insightful in its understanding of women's lives and experiences. This collection was featured on Morningside and acclaimed by The Arts Tonight.
