Description & Specifications

What is flash fiction in other countries? In Latin America, it's called micro, in Denmark, kortprosa, in Bulgaria, mikro razkaz. These short stories, usually no more than 750 words, range from linear narratives to the most unusual: stories based on mathematical forms, a novel in one paragraph, a scientific report on volcanic fireflies proliferating in nightclubs. Flash has always —and everywhere— been a form of experimentation, a possibility. A new addition to the recognized anthologies Flash and Sudden Fiction, this collection includes 83 of the most beautiful, provocative, and moving narratives from authors on six continents, including top writers like Etgar Keret, Zimbabwean author Petina Gappah, Korean screenwriter Kim Young-ha, Nobel laureate Czeslaw Milosz, and Argentina’s “Queen of Microfiction” Ana María Shua, among many others. These expertly curated stories challenge readers to expand their vision and celebrate both the local and the global.
