Bøger af Nuala Ni Chonchuir

This, the 3rd annual anthology from National Flash-Fiction Day, sees a wide range of writers telling us their carefully crafted stories about the wonders of the world and beyond. Given the theme of 'The Senses' these writers have responded in unexpected ways to produce tales of love and betrayal, hope and despair, life and death. Writers include sci-fi and crime best-seller Michael Marshall Smith, crime novelist Sarah Hillary, Costa Short-Story Prize 2014 winner Angela Readman, NFFD Director Calum Kerr and a host of others including Nuala Ní Chonchúir, Nik Perring, Nigel McLoughlin, Cathy Bryant, Tim Stevenson, Tania Hershman and Jon Pinnock. This is a wonderful collection of stories, show-casing the vital state of flash-fiction today.

Award-winning writer Nuala Ni Chonchuir uses sensual frankness and poetic language, to weave a spell around the reader in Nude. We find mercurial lovers and illicit affairs from Dublin to Paris, Delhi to Barcelona. And at the centre of it all is the unclothed body: in bedrooms, in art, and in and out of love.

The twenty-two stories in this collection explore themes of adult-child relationships, death and violence, and the Irish sense of place. These are essential stories about families and relationships under strain; there is love and betrayal, sickness and passing, humour and rivalry, all told in a mix of adult and child voices, each voice as honest as the last.
