Description: 2022 The Story Prize Longlist
The stories in Antipodes contemplate our current reality with both frankness and hard-earned hopefulness, realism and fabulism, tackling parenthood, environment, and the absurd-but-unavoidable daily toil of worrying about mundane matters when we've entered "an era of unknowability, of persistent strangeness."Review Quotes: "Holly Goddard Jones is one of our greatest storytellers--period--and Antipodes is a testament to her continued mastery, wit, and grace. Brimming with unparalleled empathy for their characters, these stories prove, once again, that Goddard Jones knows us better than we know ourselves."--David James Poissant, author, Lake Life
