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 snowbound woman realizes too late the stranger upstairs is not who she believed.
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 final tick.
