Paperback. Condizione: New. Sixteen-year-old Chloe's life goal is to find her soulmate and live happily ever after, just like her parents. But every time Chloe falls in love, it's not the fairytale she dreams of. Through a series of intimate vignettes, Chloe chronicles making out with tongue, the horror of not knowing how, the clumsiness of discovery and other basic truths about love, including the harsh realities that the person who is most perfect for you will either move to Tokyo or be gay; that your first true love will shatter your dreams, and-surprise, you might even be a little queer, yourself! Yet through it all, Chloe discovers that life, love and the stars are not necessarily pre-destined and that regardless of the fairytales, imperfections are what make life so interesting. A joyous ode to heartbreak, friendship, and Lady Gaga, Flirting With Glowsticks was longlisted for the Santa Fe Writers Project 2022 Literary Awards.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Spanning four decades and travelling from the island of Mallorca to England and Ireland, The Last Months of Violet Koski is a touchingly beautiful story that reminds us we are all connected. Isolated and seemingly alone in their worlds, a bullied child, a drug addict, a homeless man and an old woman in a nursing home are brought together through empathy, profound communication and the complex interconnections that surround us all. But how can Gabriel, the down-trodden child, ever bridge these geographic, cultural and age divides? How is he connected to each and how can he possibly show them that there is still love in their worlds? Expansive in its reach and beautiful in its prose, The Last Months of Violet Koski is a testament to the human condition and our need for connection.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The 2nd anthology from Anja Mujic. I am the smallest among bodies lining the floor. The first breath of morning swells, magenta bruises forming on the window glass.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The University of Hull's online Master of Arts in Creative Writing is a two-year course where writers from across the world develop their literary craft. Fostering an atmosphere of collaboration, course modules include Writer's Craft, Writing The Short Story, Writing The Novel and Writing From Life, culminating in The Writer's Portfolio - a long-form piece of original work with accompanying academic commentary. In January 2024, this cohort, comprising writers from the Americas, Europe, Asia and Australia, gathered in Kingston-Upon-Hull to celebrate their graduation. Having spent the previous two years building friendships, critiquing one another's work, pushing creative boundaries and exploring new ways of writing, many finally met in person. As congratulations, conversations (and champagne) flowed, the idea to celebrate this success with the production of an anthology was born. Unrestricted by genre or style, all were encouraged to offer work which expressed themselves freely and showcased skills developed throughout the course. With each contributor's distinctive voice, this anthology aims to manifest Hull University's motto and show each of these writers, "Carrying the light of learning".
