Willesden Herald New Short Stories 12

Best of the international Willesden Short Story Prize 2022



Tales and fables set variously in Bangladesh, Britain, Estonia, Ireland, Jamaica, Switzerland, Ukraine, with some spanning multiple locations from India, Israel and parts of Africa to the United States. Everything from the intensely personal to the epic and historical, from family crises to surreal relationships. There is strangeness, there is passion, there are flashes of humour, pathos, reflection and "news of the world".
