Spectrum 5- A New Anthology

Vashti — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 11:10:23 +0000

A rollercoaster maintained by Death, a helicopter pilot navigating sanity, or an endless expanse of ocean – twenty-three short stories examine the world through myth, through the eyes of children, through the net curtains of a suburban home. They explore society with terrorists, snakes, adolescent runaways, drowning victims, time travellers, arsonists and nipples. They touch down on rural fields, on the gritty heat of a summer beach; lay open the frayed tempers of friends, lovers, and families; bottle up the love and compassion of strangers, and skim the unexpected luck of chance encounters.

This collection offers a fresh perspective on a familiar journey; a journey that is exciting, and new, and full of promise; a journey that is only just beginning. Join these graduate writers as they navigate New Zealand’s words, hopes, milestones and memories, offering a glimpse of what might be seen in our back yard and beyond – through the lens of the short story.
