The Plainness of My Fall: Award-Winning Short Fiction
by J.G. Macdonald
Winner of the Zoetrope All-Story Prize, chosen by Joyce Carol Oates
In these six unforgettable tales, ordinary lives twist toward the extraordinary.
A girl in the Arctic discovers a dangerous way to silence the stone figure haunting her home.
A lakeside summer friendship becomes a lifelong reckoning in the award-winning title story, The Plainness of My Fall.
From magical realism to stark reality, J.G. Macdonald crafts worlds where the smallest choices lead to the largest consequences - and where endings are never quite what you expect.
For fans of Alice Munro, Margaret Atwood, and readers who crave fiction that lingers long after the last page.
Poignant, affecting, and beautifully crafted... every story is an award winner. Macdonald has a gift for evoking deep emotion and building vivid scenes. Highly recommended. - Readers' FavoriteAlso from
