Praise for Best Canadian Stories
"One of the best things about the end of the year is having a chance to look back. The three Best Canadian volumesStories, edited by Lisa Moore; Essays, edited by Marcello Di Cintio; and Poetry, edited by Bardia Sinaeeare a snapshot of some of the finest in Canadian writing this year."
Robert J. Wiersema, Toronto Star
"Each of the sixteen stories carries a distinctive voice; and Moore is a vociferous ventriloquist and complete angler throwing 'a fishing line through the air with a narrative hook.' ... Under Lisa Moores stewardship, Biblioasiss Best just keeps getting better."
Michael Greenstein, The Miramichi Reader
"A wide-ranging ... interesting collection."
