Paige Cooper
Paige Cooper is a Canadian writer, originally from Canmore, Alberta[1] and currently based in Montreal, Quebec.[2] Her debut short story collection Zolitude was named as a longlisted nominee for the 2018 Scotiabank Giller Prize,[3] a shortlisted finalist for the Governor General's Award for English-language fiction[4] and a runner-up for the Danuta Gleed Literary Award.[5]
The collection derives its title from Zolitūde, an apartment block in Riga, Latvia where a major shopping centre underwent a roof collapse in 2013.[6] The book's stories have been described as speculative fiction.[7]
Her short stories have also appeared in The Fiddlehead, West Branch, Michigan Quarterly Review, Gulf Coast Online, Canadian Notes & Queries, The New Quarterly and the Journey Prize anthology.[7]
