Angebote / Angebote:

In each of the stories in this collection, the authors examine the conundrum and contradiction of human experience through carefully crafted narrative detail. The brevity of short-form fiction makes it an apt vessel for capturing the haunting incompleteness of human experience. Memorable short stories resonate because they are attentive to specificities and particularities: to detail as it relates to a distinct focalising consciousness. The authors in this collection employ narrative detail with intuitive hands and minds, fashioning an apprehended fictional world, an abstracted reality that resonates beyond the final lines of text. Each story here is marked by the urgency of idea, captured as raw sensory data. Collectively, they are attentive to the crucial relationship between idiosyncratic voice and sharply rendered detail, creating an experiential world that 'feels real' to the reader.Featuring: Joshua Kemp, Margaret Hickey, Joshua Hayes, Deb Wain, Anne Hotta, Thomas Hamlyn-Harris, Judi Morrison, Chemutai Glasheen, Annabel Stafford, Suzanne Hermanockzi, Sophie Overett.This project was generously supported by the Australasian Association of Writing Programs (AAWP), the peak academic body representing the discipline of Creative Writing in Australasia.
