The history of walls - as a way to keep people in or out - is also
the history of people managing to get around, over and under them.
From the Berlin Wall and the Mexico-US border, to the barbed wire
fences of Bangladesh's refugee camps, the short stories in this
anthology explore the barriers that have sought to divide
communities and nations, and their traumatic effects on people's
lives and histories. At a time when more walls are being built than
are being brought down, All Walls Collapse brings together writing
from across national, ethnic and linguistic borders, challenging
the political impulse to separate and segregate, and celebrating
the role of literature in traversing division.
The mother who enters the cafe last to identify the nineteenth body
brings home her dead eighteen-year-old son packed in a coffin, as
well as the sole survivor of the blast, a three-year-old boy, who
by a strange quirk of fate, is found lying in a small empty space,
alive and breathing. That Empty Space recounts the memories of the
boy gone, the story of the boy brought home, the crossing of their
life and death and the mixing up of their identities.
