Canada in Short: Contemporary Canada in Short Fiction

Belgrade
17–18 April 2015
Alice Munro, the Nobel prize winner for 2013, lays great trust in the genre of short fiction:
''I would really hope that this would make people see the short story as an important art, not just something you played around with until you got a novel.'' - Source: The New York Times, October 11, 2013.
Inspired by this recognition of Canadian Literature, the Association for Canadian Studies in Serbia (SACS) and the Faculty of Philology of the University of Belgrade are pleased to announce the 7th International Conference hosted by the Faculty of Philology to be held in Belgrade, Serbia, 17-18 April 2015.
