Jury Citation
“Compressed and expansive at the same time, ‘Dream Interpretation’ is a story that will leave you both completely satisfied and wanting more. Each new revelation is surprising and disturbing, as Leah Jane Esau skilfully doles out the backstory and brings her characters to life. Nothing is what it seems, least of all dreams.” — 2014 RBC Bronwen Wallace Jury (Diane Schoemperlen, Michelle Berry, and Tanis Rideout)
