Join Sarah Schofield and C.D. Rose, both award-winning writers for an evening of subversion and mystery... In association with independent literary publishers, Comma Press and Melville House.In Who’s Who When Everyone is Someone Else (2018), we found the character ‘C.D. Rose’ searching an unnamed European city for the lost manuscript of a little-known writer named Maxim Guyavitch. That search was fruitless, but in his new collection The Blind Accordionist, ‘C.D. Rose’ finds Guyavitch's manuscript – nine sparkling, fable-like short stories. He presents them with an introduction explaining his discovery, and an afterword providing a critical commentary. What might they reveal about the mysterious Guyavitch?
In Safely Gathered In, Sarah Schofield probes at the heart of what forms us and what we, in turn, form. The stories collected here expose the spaces that words often fail to reach and examine how objects – both manmade and natural – can reflect the darkest manifestations of grief and disconnection.
From the child acting out a family betrayal in the comfort of her dolls house, to the sister making wind-up toys from the dead birds she finds on her doorstep, this debut collection ventures into the surreal and delivers a sense of unease that leaves us questioning why we gather the things we do.
