Description

Susan Midalia’s Miniatures is a provocative collection of short short stories casting an unflinching eye on modern social issues and themes: from family dynamics, climate change and the value of reading and writing to national and gender identity. Satiric, compassionate, poignant and witty, these technically deft and inventive stories reveal the vexations, absurdities and hidden desires of parents and children, lovers, politicians, and those who delight in the power of the written word.
