CLOSURE: CONTEMPORARY BLACK BRITISH SHORT STORIES. Dieser Artikel ist nicht verfügbar.CLOSURE: CONTEMPORARY BLACK BRITISH SHORT STORIES

From well-known and award-winning authors&;including Bernardine Evaristo, Fred D&;Aguiar, and Leone Ross&;to previous unpublished writers, this ambitious and intriguing anthology of short stories showcases each author&;s most challenging work.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.
