Jan Carson & Kirsty Gunn: Slice of Life

To quote Ali Smith, ‘With the short story, you are up against mortality’. We bring you two masters of the form in Jan Carson, winner of the EU Prize for Literature, who chronicles life in glittering stories in Quickly, While They Still Have Horses and award-winning Kirsty Gunn with Pretty Ugly, which relishes the contradictions that comprise a life.
