Writing to the Edge : 9781925052022 : 01 Aug 2014 : If the art of the short story is knowing what to leave out, what is the art of microfiction? A collection demonstrating many ways of making much from little. In pieces ranging in length from a few pages to a line or two, this collection of microfictions and prose poems intrigues, amuses, saddens, and enlightens in turn. In the forms of stories, observations, and evocations, all less than 800 words, these strange and unsettling tales offer narratives whittled into elegance. Readers will find an ode to the ironing board, close encounters on public transport, paeans to dead sisters, private play with partners, respect paid to classic authors, and much more.
