A Public Space Books is delighted to announce two astonishing debut story collections, coming this fall.
ON BOARD THE DOG STAR by Edward McWhinney follows a man—introspective, almost anonymous, keenly observant—as recounts his life: "It would be wiser to take life by its scruffy neck and change it before it changes itself." Edward’s story "Four Stories" appeared in A Public Space No. 28.
THE SUN’S POINT OF VIEW by Marzia Grillo, translated from the Italian by Lourdes Contreras and Julia Pelosi-Thorpe, plays out in a nexus of overlapping scenes across the city and countryside of Grillo’s Rome. Marzia’s story "Ghost in Translation" appeared in A Public Space No. 31.
Edward and Marzia's remarkable collections are available for pre-order now: https://apublicspace.org/books
