The Call of the Sea: A Collection of Short Stories - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

One of the great exponents of the short form, Nobel Prize winner Alice Munro, describes short stories as 'A world seen in a quick, glancing light.'
The Call of the Sea takes readers on an idiosyncratic odyssey, where they will encounter a motley array of characters often at liminal points in their lives, be they at the edge of myth or in the middle of muddling through the mundane. The stories are set in different times, landscapes and seascapes. Paradoxically, the anthology was compiled during a global pandemic by writers whose lives were temporarily less eclectic, although challenged by shielding, major surgery and bereavement. The writers hope, therefore, that the stories prove therapeutic in addition to offering a variety of great reads.
An anthology of stories we miraculously conceived during a pandemic, when we were told to stay at home but our imaginations soared freely.
