The Almost Meeting and Other Stories

As relevant and engaging today as when they were written, Henry Kreisel’s stories make readers hold their breath with anticipation until the finely crafted final sentence. The Almost Meeting and other stories is part of NeWest’s Landmark Editions Series. This masterful collection of Kreisel’s short fiction was written between 1954 and 1980. These stories are intelligent, literary reflections on what it is to be a citizen of a Canada and of the world.
