“Twenty-four sad, funny, touching, intriguing, and sometimes-unsettling stories by some of Minnesota’s best writers.” —St. Paul Pioneer Press

Writers from Sinclair Lewis and F. Scott Fitzgerald to Louise Erdrich and Garrison Keillor have called Minnesota home, contributing to the state’s rich literary history as well as its reputation as a place that cherishes education and American democracy. It also embraces diversity, as showcased in this collection of local fiction-writing talent that reflects the vibrancy and variety of the North Star State in the twenty-first century.

This anthology presents a literary mosaic of modern Minnesota with writings by and about an extraordinarily wide range of voices and characters — including powerful work by Sarah Stonich, Sun Yung Shin, Pallavi Sharma Dixit, Shannon Gibney, Ethan Rutherford, Éireann Lorsung, Miriam Karmel, and others.
