Minority Reports gathers together the best prose writing in Quebec-all short pieces-from the winners and finalists of the last three years of the Quebec Writing Competition. Montreal's CBC Radio One and the Quebec Writers' Federation created the competition in 1999. It has resulted in three previous anthologies-Telling Stories, Short Stuff, and In Other Words. The winning stories are broadcast on CBC Radio and published in Maisonneuve magazine.
