A Dictionary of Light
The Rhys Davies Short Story Award Anthology (Rhys Davies Short Story Award The)

Format
Paperback, 200 pages
Published
21 November 2024

Judged by Rebecca F. John.

In these twelve bold, tender, brilliant stories from the winners of the 2024 Rhys Davies Short Story Competition, adults, children - and even an elephant - are challenged by ghosts of the past and a longing for friendship, meaning and connection as they try to make sense of their worlds.

A group of lads unite on a bridge in the most horrific of circumstances; a family day out to celebrate the mid-harvest festival of Mabon does not go to plan; a research scientist grapples with the ethics of memory harvesting; one man tries to rebuild friendship through fishing; and a dancer disillusioned by broken dreams resorts to desperate means on board a ship. Here, lives are in transition - between cultures and language, past and present, dreams and reality. Characters, scarred and vulnerable, wander, and wonder.

The stories within this collection, both traditional and experimental, present life in its myriad beautiful, heart wrenching, truthful forms.
