In The Best Australian Stories 2013, Kim Scott assembles the most
exceptional short fiction of the last year and invites readers to
build 'a rare and intimate relationship' with these talented
writers, one that is 'essential to storytelling in print, whether
on paper or screen.' These stories conjure disparate moods, from
delight to melancholy. A family Christmas lays bare a relationship
grown cold. A father pursues the art of the birdcall in an effort
to speak his son's language. A cat becomes a conduit for a
neighbour's true feelings while Brisbane floods. Striking new
voices blend seamlessly with those of celebrated storytellers to
form a collection that will leave an indelible impression long
after the last word is read. 'A story can lure us into gaps and
spaces that feel sacred in their silence.' Kim Scott Kalinda
