Caroline Adderson is the author of two internationally published novels, A History of Forgetting and Sitting Practice, and a collection of stories, Bad Imaginings. Her work has won two Ethel Wilson Fiction Prizes and three CBC Literary Awards, as well as nominations for the Governor General’s Award, the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize and the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize.

"Caroline Adderson's second short story collection, Pleased To Meet You, is a sardonic, bulletproof literary achievement that examines the lives of the angry and misunderstood.... Those looking for easy redemptions won't find them in this collection, but sophisticated readers will find Adderson's cruelly tender style both rich and readable."
