Stephen Osborne

June 11th, 2024

In his essay collection exploring topics like civic monuments, family history and end times in the Arctic, Stephen Osborne, founder of Geist magazine and a CBC Literary Award winner, highlights everyday coincidences within the broader scope of life in The Coincidence Problem (Arsenal Pulp Press $24.95), due out in October. From city centers to the Arctic’s edges, Osborne’s essays cover subjects such as global terrorism and the 1884 lynching of Indigenous youth Louie Sam (declared in the 21st century as an historical injustice). As a modern flaneur, Osborne investigates the city, translates the ordinary, and deflates the pretentious. 9781551529653
