Very excited to announce that my short story “You Were Loved” has been published in one of Russia’s leading literary journals, Inostrannaya Literatura (Foreign Literature). 

Last May, Inostrannaya Literatura dedicated an issue to Canadian writing. This is my first Russian publication, and a huge honour. Inostrannaya Literatura has published some fine writers over its long history, including Samuel Beckett, William Goldin, John Updike, Jerome J. Salinger, Kenzaburo Oe, Tennessee Williams, Jean-Paul Sartre, Franz Kafka, Evelyn Waugh, Umberto Eco, and Julio Cortazar. 

“You Were Loved” was first published in The Malahat Review, and reprinted in Journey Prize Stories 24. JP Stories 24 features great work by writers like Kris Bertin, Kevin Hardcastle, Shashi Bhat, and more. You can order a copy here
