Inhaltsangabe

"Vesna Main disturbs our self-image as educated, reasonable and ironic people who read modernist fiction. She disturbs us because we recognise ourselves in her obsessive and bloody-minded characters as they are pushed to the extreme. But they are only too human and seek love, just like us. This is a collection of twenty short stories of different lengths and written in a variety of styles. Main writes about characters whose passion borders on obsession and who are seeking love and companionship but are doomed to remain alone, with their sense of personal failure as the only company."

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Vesna Main was born in Zagreb, Croatia, where she studied Comparative Literature, before obtaining a Phd in Elizabethan Studies from the Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham. She later worked as a journalist, lecturer and arts administrator. Her published fiction includes a short story collection, Temptation (Salt, 2018), a novel-in-dialogue, Good Day? (Salt, 2019), which was shortlisted for the Goldsmiths prize, an autofiction, Only A Lodger … And Hardly That (Seagull Books 2020), and a novella, ‘Bruno and Adèle’ in Shorts III (Platypus Press, 2021). Two of her stories are published in Best British Short Stories (Salt 2017, 2019); many others have appeared in journals in print and online. In her writing, Main is interested in telling stories in ways that explore and extend the boundaries of the narrative genre.
