A young laundry boy risks his life to play organized hockey in Canada in the 1920s. A Canadian couple gets caught in the outbreak of violence in Shanghai during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The Consul-General of China attempts to save lives following Kristallnacht in Vienna. A family aspires to buy a home in South Africa during the rise of apartheid. An actor in New York struggles to keep his career alive while yearning to reconcile with his estranged wife. From the vulnerable and disenfranchised to the educated and elite, the characters in this extraordinary collection embody the diversity of the diaspora at key moments in history and in contemporary times. Jack Wang has crafted deeply affecting stories that not only subvert expectations but contend with mortality and delicately draw out the intimacies and failings of love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3da54f31dbcb05a875aa69/b43ee3a2-ca3f-41da-9917-7bd7bb630ee1/We+Two+Alone_Final+Cover.jpg Works - WE TWO ALONE Stories Longlisted for Canada Reads 2022 Winner of the 2021 Central New York Book Award in Fiction Winner of the 2020 Danuta Gleed Literary Award Shortlisted for the 2021 Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize CBC Books Best Canadian Fiction of 2020 Quill and Quire 2020 Books of the Year 49th Shelf 2020 Fiction: Books of the Year https://www.jackwangauthor.com/about daily 0.75 2025-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3da54f31dbcb05a875aa69/1628967447770-FEOEOWHQ2UTFCF1R1929/Canada+Council+Smaller.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3da54f31dbcb05a875aa69/ade3a02e-4a38-42a4-ba45-39ff0fac46a4/190521_JackWang_Portrait_1419.jpg About JACK WANG is the author of the story collection We Two Alone (House of Anansi, 2020; HarperVia, 2021), winner of the 2021 Central New York Book Award in Fiction and the 2020 Danuta Gleed Literary Award from the Writers’ Union of Canada for best debut collection in English, shortlisted for the 2021 Kobo Emerging Writer Prize, and longlisted for Canada Reads 2022.
