What is it that short stories can do that novels cannot? Why does
it appeal to some writers and not others? In this episode we
embrace the short form and talk to three female writers keen to
engage with this unique form of storytelling. Zadie Smith
straddles the Atlantic to look at the differences between story
culture in the US, UK and beyond. Julia Armfield invokes body
horror and genre as she plays with form and liberates herself.
And Naomi Ishiguro joins us in the studio to share her journey
from student to published author as she launches her debut story
collection.

Books mentioned: Escape Routes, Grand Union, Salt Slow, Friday
Black, The Light Years, Difficult Women.
