\nFiction means many things to many people. As Life of Pi author, Yann Martel, noted, \u00ab\u00a0Fiction is the selective transforming of reality. The twisting of it to bring out the essence.\u00a0\u00bb Tim O’Brien, author of <i>The Things They Carried<\/i>, echoed this when he wrote, \u00ab\u00a0That’s what fiction is for. It’s for getting at the truth when the truth isn’t sufficient for the truth.\u00a0\u00bb Atlantic Canadian writers know instinctively that \u00ab\u00a0truth\u00a0\u00bb is not always what it seems and that it varies widely among cultural groups. Here, in heartfelt and often raw prose, a wealth of gifted authors from different backgrounds investigate their truths through a fictional lens, often pushing the boundaries of the genre to uncover and hold up to the light what is real and what is true. <i>High Water Mark<\/i> is a compendium of stories that indeed attempts to get at the essence of life in the Canadian Far East in all its rich diversity while exploring some of the hidden \u00ab\u00a0truths\u00a0\u00bb that are not always obvious in our day-to-day lives.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
