In just a few pages, a short story can introduce readers to a world they’ve never imagined. Joe Ollmann (The Woodchipper) joins Anuja Varghese, Jaclyn Desforges (Weird Babies), and Trynne Delaney (As The Earth Dreams: Black Canadian Speculative Stories) to explore the possibilities of short fiction across genres. gritLIT is Hamilton’s annual literary festival, a celebration of Canadian authors.
