Soflay Anthology of Microstories by Rehmat Changaizi,Anna Fletcher Pdf

The microstory is by definition an extremely short story. Like any other fiction, the microstory must contain a beginning, a middle, and an ending. These can be challenging to write, for the writer must choose the most succinct way of telling a story that has purpose and meaning, yet uses so few words. Writers of microstories take their reader on a brief but intense journey; capturing imagination and inspiration, conjuring places and people, taking us away from ourselves, without having to commit a great deal of time and energy into the reading of it... a perfect micro-escape in today's busy world. The microstories that made the grade for this anthology have been submitted from writers across the globe. For some, this is their first publication of fiction work, while others are seasoned veterans of writing microstories and fiction. It is great to be able to include such a variety of writers with work of great quality, especially when considering English is a second language to many. Although these stories are brief, it is likely many of them will remain in your thoughts long after you put the book down. Like poetry, the best time to read a microstory is after you have read it for the first time, which enables you to discover further hidden layers of meaning. While no theme was specified in the call out for submissions, it is a joy to see recurring themes emerge throughout the book, including philosophy, spirituality, love, and of course, Covid-19. I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I have. It is wonderful to see creativity shine out beyond the difficulties of this challenging year for us all. Stay safe, and happy reading to you!

Sitopia by Carolyn Steel Pdf

'A visionary look at how quality food should replace money as the new world currency' Tim Spector 'Hugely ambitious and beautifully written...destined to become a modern classic' Bee Wilson How we search for, make and consume food has defined human history. It transforms our bodies and homes, our politics and our trade, our landscapes and our climate. But by forgetting our culinary heritage and relying on cheap, intensively produced food, we have drifted into a way of life that threatens our planet and ourselves. What if there were a more sustainable way to eat and live? Drawing on many disciplines, as well as stories of the farmers, designers and economists who are remaking our relationship with food, this inspiring and deeply thoughtful book gives us a provocative and exhilarating vision for change, and points the way to a better future. 'Utterly brilliant' Thomasina Miers WINNER OF THE 2021 GUILD FOOD OF WRITERS AWARD FOR BEST FOOD BOOK *Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize 2020*

But Trend Micro, Inc.- founded in 1988 with $5,000 in seed money-grew into a Nikkei 225 company making more than $1 billion per year in revenue and with operations in more than twenty countries. In this business book/memoir, she looks back at how she and her partners capitalized on the global threat of cyber-crime, turning a fledgling company into an amazing growth story. Chang does much more than just revisit the company's history: She shares the story of the three founders and their vision, and she reveals all the details behind how they transformed the security industry-and their own lives-in ways they never imagined.

Left Neglected by Lisa Genova Pdf

One typical morning, Sarah Nickerson, a woman in her mid-thirties, is late for work, racing in her car after dropping her kids off at school and daycare. She tries to phone in to a meeting she should already be at when she takes her eye off the road for a second too long. In that blink of an eye, all the rapidly moving parts of her over-scheduled life come to a screeching halt. Sarah suffers a traumatic head injury. Her memory and intellect are intact, but she has lost all interest in, and the ability to perceive, information coming from the left side of space. The left side of her world has gone. Sarah only eats the food from the right side of her plate. She can't see her watch, or her engagement diamond or her wedding ring. She tries to use a wheel chair but can only spin in circles as her left arm dangles by her side.

Safely Gathered In by Sarah Schofield Pdf

A woman grows increasingly frustrated by the emails she receives from her deceased husband… A taxidermist dreams of bringing one of his clients into his workshop after preserving her grandfather’s hamster… A grieving nurse is troubled by her daughter’s fascination with The Iron Lady… In her stirring and disquieting debut collection of stories, Sarah Schofield explores emotions that seethe beneath the surface of ourselves and live in the spaces that language can’t reach, elevating manifestations of loneliness, grief and disconnection into direct sight. The characters we meet in Safely Gathered In harness objects around them, both manmade and of the natural world, to deal with secrets and loss; from the child acting out a family betrayal from the comfort of her dolls house, to the sister making wind-up toys from the dead birds she finds on her doorstep. Venturing into the surreal and experimenting with tropes of science-fiction, these stories consider the effects of consumerism on our most intimate moments, grasp into the depths of nostalgia, and cast a fresh light into the gaps we navigate each day between reality and longing. "This is a deliciously wry Black Mirror-esque collection that provokes and disturbs. A bold and brilliant debut." – Lucie McKnight Hardy, author of Water Shall Refuse Them "Schofield's collection comprises finely inventive stories, astute in their side angle swipes on reality. A memorable and distinctive debut." – Kiare Ladner, author of Nightshift "Sarah Schofield is a writer with tremendous rage and inventiveness, who takes the short story to new places" – Naomi Booth, author of Exit Management "Sharp, insightful and haunting, these stories are not safe reading. An astounding debut." – Angela Readman, author of Something Like Breathing "An enchanting, vital collection. Strange, incisive and compelling." – Irenosen Okojie, author of Nudibranch
