David Bergen has published two short story collections. Sitting Opposite My Brother (1993) was his first published book and introduced readers to his understated prose style. The stories focus on families and relationships in Manitoba, told with careful attention to small details.
Here the Dark (2020) came nearly three decades later and shows how Bergen’s range has expanded over time. The collection includes stories set in various locations and deals with subjects like aging, loss, and the difficulty of human connection.
