<p><b>38 pieces that will be remembered for seasons to come</b></p>
<p>For 25 years, sports journalists south of the border have been collected in best-of anthologies. With <i>Best Canadian Sports Writing</i>, editors Stacey May Fowles and Pasha Malla offer a long overdue rejoinder from the North, showcasing top literary sports writing from diverse homegrown talent.</p>
<p>This extraordinary anthology of recent writing mixes columns and long-form journalism, profiles and reportage, new voices and well-known favourites such as Stephen Brunt, Rachel Giese, Eric Koreen, Morgan Campbell, and Cathal Kelly. The assembled pieces offer polished prose, unusual perspectives, and rare insight into their subjects, whether it’s a Filipino basketball league in the Yukon, the rise and fall of ski ballet, or a field trip to the Mexican hometown of the Jays’ Roberto Osuna. With its many voices and approaches, <i>Best Canadian Sports Writing</i> expands the genre into more democratic and conversational territory, celebrating the perspectives of both fans and experts alike.</p>
<p>These remarkable pieces offer lasting insight that, like sport itself, excites, inspires, and never fails to reveal the truth about ourselves.</p>
