Paperback / softback. New. How the Light Gets In is the debut collection from award winning short story writer, Clare Sita Fisher. A book of very short stories that explores the spaces between light and dark and how we find our way from one to the other. Fisher paints a complex, funny and moving portrait of contemporary Brit, 6, London: John Calder. Very Good. 1979. 16th Edition. Soft Cover. 8vo 0714536385 Presentation copy from one of the contributors, " For Jack and Ann-Mari from Sarah Lawson, January 1979." 191 pages clean and tight. With twelve contributors from six different countries the 16th edition of NWW contains a wide range of outstanding new writing from established, rising and completely new authors. There is new work from two writers who have made a considerable impact on modern fiction: William Burroughs' Cobble Stone Gardens (published in Britain for the first time) is a polemical elegy for a lost way of life and a sick society, illustrated with strangely juxtaposed images of American life in the 20's and 30's; while Michael Moorcock's short, witty fantasy, The Kassandra Peninsula, shows the vitality that the fusion of traditional, experimental and science fiction has brought to contemporary writing. There are short stories from Elspeth Davie (who recently won the Katherine Mansfield Prize), Dino Buzzati, David Craig, the German author Ingeborg Drewitz and a stylish new writer, Kathleen Greenwood. Neil Jordan, one of the co-founders of the Irish Writers' Co-Operative and author of a successful book of short stories (Night in Tunisia), contributes two extracts from his novel in progress and there is an extended extract from Sarah McCoy's novel Dead and Gone, influenced to great effect by the French 'nouveau romanciers'. With poetry from three very different and accomplished poets-B. C. Leale, Sarah Lawson and Maryon Jeane-NWW 16 makes an exciting addition to a series that has consistently promoted new writing of all kinds since 1961.
