Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A teenager discovers her father only brought her from Pakistan to England because he was being haunted by the spirit of her late mother. A divorcee blunders into his ex-wife's garden with one goal in mind: to beat his personal best for holding his breath underwater in her pool. A waitress f…inds herself serving an old school friend who once had a great impact on her but now doesn't recognise her. The stories shortlisted for the 2023 BBC National Short Story Award reveal characters unmoored from their pasts and quite unable to find themselves in their new lives. Displacement, dislocation and a need to rekindle old identities lie at the heart of these tales: from the woman trying to bond with a refugee and her young son, to the mother struggling simultaneously with the traditional expectations of her Chinese in-laws and the dangers of online life, these stories are freighted with disconnection but buoyed with a desire to start afresh. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A woman, exhausted by work and motherhood, hires the services of a sinister firm that promises her a brand-new life. Journeying across America to make a claim to an inheritance, a man must confront the shame and bigotry that has haunted his family for generations. A picture-perfect holiday…threatens to unravel as two daughters come to terms with the uneasy dynamic of their new blended family. The stories shortlisted for the 2022 BBC National Short Story Award with Cambridge University take readers on a journey through uncertain terrain: times and places at once familiar yet deeply unsettling. From the queer love story unravelling against a desolate and disease-ravaged landscape, to a man's earnest hunt for the killer of a boy who died in his arms, these stories are about outsiders, who seek safety and security in worlds that are chaotic, unfathomable, sometimes beautiful, and often brutal. The BBC NSSA is one of the most prestigious prizes for a single short story, with the winning author receiving GBP15,000, and four further shortlisted authors GBP600 each. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A young woman falls into a seemingly endless sleep, and what begins as a form of depression, transforms into a social-media sensation, with acolytes camping outside her hospital, sleeping in vigil.A man waiting to hear the result of his asylum application sets about learning two versions of… English - the official Queen's English taught at his evening class, and the one he decodes from the taunts and abuse of local teenagers who don't want him there.When an 11 year old's mother disappears, to distract him, he is given a detective kit, and sets about trying to solve the problem himself.Martyn Bedford's short stories ask a difficult the question: how do we re-define ourselves in the age of 'post-truth' reasoning, identity politics and social media echo-chambers. What constitutes personal identity, and what can we call 'home', when the places we come from are either no-longer accessible, or not what they claim to be. Informed by Bedford's early career as a thriller writer, these stories read as much like mysteries, waiting to reveal themselves, as literary short stories.Covering everything from the lingering legacies of industrial disputes, through to futuristic visions of police detection, Bedford's stories also offer a fascinating portrait of the changing face of modern, Northern Britain.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A mysterious black crate arrives at an ISIS command centre in the heart of occupied Mosul, leaving the soldiers and their captives guessing at its contents. A refugee travels to a remote ' Northern' town to study race relations, only to discover one of its bridge-building initiatives is, in… fact, a trap. Drifting from job to job in a corrupt, militia-run Baghdad, a young daydreamer is asked to spy on a protest movement he finds himself entirely sympathising with. The characters in Hassan Blasim's latest collection all find themselves in impossible positions - from the ISIS cook working undercover to retrieve ancient manuscripts from a desecrated site, to the refugee in Northern Europe unable to process the devastating dislocation of exile. Violence, intolerance and insecurity stalk them at every turn. And yet, for all their trauma, Hassan's stories - strung through with intrigue and absurdist humour - are somehow able to draw us in and help us appreciate the infinite complexity implicit in even the most black-and-white contexts.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. An inspector rages against the announcement that police HQ is to relocate - the way so many of the city's residents already have - to the mainland. An aspiring author struggles with the inexorable creep of rentalisation that has forced him to share his apartment, and life, with 'global pilg…rims'. An ageing painter rails against the liberties taken by tourists, but finds his anger undermined by his own childhood memories of the place. The Venice presented in these stories is a far cry from the 'impossibly beautiful', frozen-in-time city so familiar to the thousands who flock there every year - a city about which, Henry James once wrote, 'there is nothing new to be said.' Instead, they represent the other Venice, the one tourists rarely see: the real, everyday city that Venetians have to live and work in. Rather than a city in stasis, we see it at a crossroads, fighting to regain its radical, working-class soul, regretting the policies that have seen it turn slowly into a theme park, and taking the pandemic as an opportunity to rethink what kind of city it wants to be. Bringing together fiction from celebrated writers, The Book of Venice is an anthology of short stories charting the social and and cultural change of Venice over the last fifty years, creating a literary map of the city. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
