Forgetting English

Midge Raymond

Winner of the 2007 Spokane Prize for Short Fiction

Forgetting English explores the indelible imprint of home upon

identity and the ways in which new frontiers both defy and

confirm it. From a biologist navigating the icy moonscape of

Antarctica to a businesswoman seeking refuge in the South Pacific, the characters who inhabit these stories travel for business and for pleasure, out of duty and in search of freedom, and each comes face-to-face with the unexpected.
