Family connections, unconventional friendships, love and loss: the
twelve stories in this collection of new contemporary fiction by
the winners of the 2022 Rhys Davies Short Story Competition present
characters seeking solace, self-discovery and self-fulfilment as
they navigate familiar and unfamiliar territory. Two sisters search
for the last available Christmas tree while coming to terms with
their mother's death; a stammering teen hitches a lift with a Welsh
Elvis; a man participates in his 'endgame'; and a teacher and pupil
create their very own time machine. From hillside encounters to
conversations in homes, shops and on the street, these are stories
about people and place, about relationships and revelations,
peppered with memories and re- imaginings. These are stories where
some voices are silenced and others get to sing. The Rhys Davies
Short Story Competition recognises the very best unpublished short
stories in English in any style by writers aged 18 or over who were
born in Wales, have lived in Wales for two years or more, or are
currently living in Wales. Originally established in 1991, Parthian
is delighted to publish the 2022 winning stories on behalf of the
Rhys Davies Trust and in association with Swansea University's
Cultural Institute.
