In a story set in Venice, amid complications both legal and romantic, a Canadian expat comes to understand the restless path his father’s life has taken. A boy discovers something about fame, mortality, and triple force fields when the kids in his neighbourhood vie for a coveted spot on an arcade game’s high-scores list. In a modern fairytale with a twist, a woman who is always cold is given an unexpected gift. A near-drowning in the Indian Ocean reveals difficult truths to a documentary filmmaker during what is supposed to be a career-advancing trip.\u003ci\u003eReading the 2007 Journey Prize Stories\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eBy Caroline Adderson, David Bezmozgis, Dionne Brand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKrista Foss\u003cbr\u003eSwimming in Zanzibar (from \u003ci\u003eThe Antigonish Review\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrew J.
