Abstract:
Professor Ghazanfar is a well known fiction writer. Most of his stories, through their creative imagination as well as their visual style, provide excellent evidence of the masterpiece in the plot. In this category, his short story "Saand" has a special place. But the intellectual satire and the bullying of the politicians under the shadow of this system is a symbolic protest against the looting and the insidious approach of turning the black thief into white and the black into black.

Abstract:
The representation of the world cannot be separated from its spatial context. Making the effort to understand how space and landscape influence short stories and their structure, and are represented in them, can help us to make sense of the role of this formerly underestimated subgenre, its social and cultural connections and dissonances, its relation to storytelling and popular narratives, and its alleged low importance. How does the short story genre relate to regional and landscape literature? Can we see it as humble fiction and, in this case, how does the humbleness of this subgenre play a

Abstract:
Abstract One of the most salient developments in recent short story criticism focuses on the genre’s connection with liminality. Both short fiction’s suitability to convey the liminal and liminality as a defining feature of the short story are at stake. The short fiction of contemporary author Janice Galloway is a good example of this. After a brief introduction to the concept of liminality, I discuss one story from each of Galloway’s collections of short fiction: “Frostbite” is the story of how a young music student crosses an existential boundary and leaves behind disabling expectations and

Abstract:
The digital revolution has brought back to the fore questions about the health of the short story. Short fiction scholars have for some time now been considering the possibilities that post-book and online spaces might open for the short story form and its popularity among readers. Despite this, when Kristen Roupenian’s New Yorker short story ‘Cat Person’ went viral late in 2017, critics of the genre paid virtually no attention to it. This article sets out to correct this on the premise that studying the ‘Cat Person’ phenomenon can help us refine our understanding of the behaviour and potentia

Abstract: Readers understand fictional worlds at least to some extent by drawing on background knowledge of their own world. Some theories of fiction, however, hold that such realistic expectations, or processes of naturalization, are the default attitude in experiencing fictions. Thus, what Marie-Laure Ryan has called the principle of minimal departure (MD) states that readers understand fictional worlds and their components by drawing on background knowledge of their own world, unless otherwise indicated.

This editorial offers critical reflections on short story writing in South Africa post-2000. Against the background of critical scholarship on the short story form and thematic trends of short story anthologies since the late 1980s, we argue that short story criticism on apartheid as well as contemporary South African short story writing has consistently emphasized the genre’s disposition to capture the fragmented realities of socio-political transitions in the country. Critics have frequently observed a shift from the overtly politicized short story of the 1970s and 1980s to a return to a mor

Abstract:
The aesthetics of contemporary short fiction have been shaped by its ability to engage with time as a boundless process of becoming. Historically and philosophically, the emergence of the short story as a specific genre may be related to modernist concepts of time and subjectivity. 'Real' time, as it is experienced by the subject, is a flux, in which past and present co-mingle. In Bergsonian terms, an unquantifiable 'duration' 1S contrasted with Newtonian concepts of absolute time as a succession of discrete units.

That is the story, but where is the truth? As I see it, the truth as we think of it is unobtainable.

This collection of fiction - a novella and a collection of short stories - focuses on the commonality of the human condition.

My work tends to explore these distinctions and our motivations for embracing them. In the novella, Middle Ground, two sisters in alternating narrative voices share the story of their parents' struggles with separation, sobriety and cancer.

“LINDA LAND” is a short story about a man who created an amusement park based on Hell, and his teenage son, who has developed a crush on the preacher’s daughter. Though there are many real-life muses that inspired the story—like Simon Rodia, the artist behind the Watts Towers—the four main literary sources are William Shakespeare’s play, “Romeo and Juliet,” Karen Russell’s novel, “Swamplandia!,” Sylvia Plath’s poem, “Mirror,” and Charlie Kaufman’s screenplay, “Adaptation.”
