About
A stone appears in a woman’s pocket like a charm only to end up lodged in someone else’s throat. A man becomes weightless, bobbing around on the ceiling, nauseated every time he is brought down and tethered to the earth. Just two of the plots from Jess Gibson and Tomás Downey’s new story collections highlighting the captivatingly subversive power and artistry of the short story. Gibson’s debut collection, The Good Eye, is a mischievous globe-spanning collection of tales set in the worlds art, crime and fantasy. In Diving Board (translated by Sarah Moses), Argentine author Downey plunges the reader into a world that is queasy and absurd, yet oddly relatable. Join the for a conversation on the art of the short story and its ability to reveal the strange, intimate and unexpected worlds around us.
