This time around, we’ve recruited one of our very favourite writers and readers to curate a unique globetrotting literary adventure. Edited and introduced by Alberto Manguel, the 2021 Short Story Advent Calendar spans the globe—from Canada to Australia, Africa to Scandinavia—featuring contemporary and classic works alike. Contributors include: Marcel Aymé (France) Aleksandar Hemon (Bosnia) José Saramago (Portugal) Muriel Spark (Scotland) Leo Tolstoy (Russia) and 20 other writers from 20 other countries!
