Synopsis
From well-known and award-winning authors—including Bernardine Evaristo, Fred D’Aguiar, and Leone Ross—to previous unpublished writers, this ambitious and intriguing anthology of short stories showcases each author’s most challenging work. These works from writers who are happy to describe themselves as Black British, have a rich variety of styles, forms, and themes, from raw realism, the erotic, and elegant economy, to the fanciful, humorous, and the tender. The contributors to Closure display a keen awareness of the short story form in all its contemporary possibilities as a way of telling and finding a form for the writer’s vision. These are stories about the ways in which we do and do not love, unrequited yearnings, the quiet and often hidden violence in our lives, moments of epiphany, and the precious occasions of jubilation and uplift.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. As the narrative mode across cultures and time, the short story form wings from oral "folktales" to myths of origin, from parables of caution to contemporary narratives of disclosure, disquiet and discovery. Humans have always valued the short story as a way to make sense of the world, and their place in it. Closure is essentially about human striving.The first Black British short story anthology since IC3 (2000), Closure illustrates that journey. Where IC3 voiced a burning for self-definition, Closure offers contemporary conversations of "Black Britishness" - a lived reality that is like air or breath or blood. The breadth of this experience is expressed through a variety of form and tone; of stylistic ranges and the richness of its diverse themes. "Closure" as a title invites a subversive response; this anthology is filled with stories which, like lives, rarely end in the way we might imagine. Closure is an Inscribe publication for Peepal Tree Press. Humans have always valued the short story as a way to make sense of the world, and their place in it. This anthology of short stories offers contemporary conversations of "Black Britishness" - a lived reality that is like air or breath or blood. Featuring Monica Ali, Fred D'Aguiar, Bernardine Evaristo and many more! Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
