In this, its third year, competition for the Canongate Prize has been scorching. Entries have poured in from New York to New Guinea and, judging from the standard and diversity of the 1,000+ entries, the fifteen winners are likely to reveal a magnificent range of content, style and genre. These essays, short stories and travelogues testify to the multiple paths the imagination can tread from one given theme. Here is an anthology where established writers sit next to the new breed of literary voices; in which both the factual and fictional are represented; a collection of outstanding individual pieces which, as a whole, form a meditation on the power of writing to change lives.
