We are very excited to welcome Janice Galloway to read from her recent collection of short stories, Jellyfish. This highly acclaimed work was shortlisted for the Saltire Society Literary Award 2015 in Literary Fiction and longlisted for the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award. In conversation with Emma Moller, local writer and member of the Writing Mums, she will reflect on this extraordinary collection of stories.
"In Galloway's best work, nothing is ordinary... she makes the surreal flicker like a blue flame from the edge of the everyday." - TLS
"An exquisite short-story collection." - The Guardian
"She offers vivid snatches of observed and imagined life. She makes pictures, sometimes beautiful, sometimes startling. She has a gift for the unforeseen and illuminating phrase." - The Scotsman
"...thoughtful, accurate, sorrowful, dark, infinitely tender, angry, memorable." - The Herald
"Galloway strips away some of our comforting illusions, and confronts us with our weaknesses, our fears and our fallibility." - The Skinny
