Best Canadian Stories 2025 exceeded my expectations and is about as solid as short story collections get... “Because We Buy Oat Milk,” by Okanagan artist Glenna Turnbull feels like what Lucy Ellis’ Ducks, Newburyport was striving for—there is a distinct sense of domestic overwhelm and tangential insertions that make for a frenetic, yet immersive reading experience.
