Featuring the winning story by Ingrid Persaud, alongside the other
four shortlisted stories. Hung-over and grief-stricken, a man
contemplated suicide at the edge of a cliff, until he is
unexpectedly distracted by the sight of a woman emerging from the
water below... A group of art students protesting the demolition of
a housing block decide to turn its destruction into a creative
act... Waiting in her car for the rain to pass after her mother's
funeral, a woman nurses her child and reflects on a world outside
that remains headless of her sorrow... The stories shortlisted for
the BBC National Short Story Award with Cambridge University 2018
pivot around the theme of loss, and the different ways that
individuals, and communities, respond to it. From the son caring
for his estranged father, to the widow going out for her first meal
alone, the characters in these stories are trying to find ways to
repair themselves, looking ahead to a time when grief will
eventually soften and sooth. Above all, these stories explore the
importance of human connection, and salutary effect of
companionship and friendship when all else seems lost.
