Short | Poto: The big book of small stories | Iti te kupu, nui te korero

Short, short stories, sometimes known as flash fiction or microfiction, are one of the trickiest forms to write. Create a resonant world in fewer than 300 words? Not so easy! In this collection of 100 stories, a range of New Zealand writers, both well known and emerging, deliver emotionally charged stories that punch well above their weight and length. And there’ s more! Each of the stories has been translated into te reo Maori (and some are written in te reo and translated into English) by some of this country’ s most experienced translators, making this book a valuable contributor to our literary landscape that rewards repeated readings.
