With the short story enjoying another resurgence, two of today’s most exciting British-Jewish writers join us to discuss their extraordinary first fiction collections. Having written non-fiction for the TLS and the White Review and contributed a story to the Queer Life, Queer Love anthology, Parallel Hells is the deliciously strange debut from Leon Craig. Among its 13 stories, drawing on folklore in refreshingly innovative ways, we meet a golem whose powers far exceed its creator’s expectations, a bitter Oxford historian and an ancient being who feasts on the shame of contemporary Londoners. Adam Ferner’s non-fiction books include Think Differently: Philosophy for Modern Life and How to Disagree; now writing as A.M. Moskovitz he uses the horror short story form to critique the excesses and absurdities of philosophy and academia in Notes From the Crawl Room. A chance to hear from two rising literary stars in conversation with Sam Jordison.
