The pieces range geographically – from Canada’s western provinces to Ontario and Quebec, from South Africa to Japan and Malta – stylistically, and in terms of subject. Among the stories: By reinventing his dead brother’s past a man exorcises old bitterness; in 1970s South Africa, a young girl witnesses two older women bathing and learns something about eroticism and grace, and that there are some secrets that can never be told; the wife and teenage son of a disappointed man become victims of his violent abuse; a woman sifts through the objects in her deceased mother’s house and coolly interprets the silence that inhabited her mother’s life. The winner of the $10,000 Journey Prize for 1992 was Rozena Maart, “No Rosa, for No District Six”.
