{"product_id":"middle-distance-craig-gamble-9781776564323","title":"Middle Distance: Long Stories of Aotearoa New Zealand","description":"The stories in \u003ci\u003eMiddle Distance\u003c\/i\u003e travel from the empty expanses of the southern ocean to the fall of a once great house, from the wharekai of a marae to the wasteland of Middle America. Longer than a traditional short story and shorter than a novella, the long story is a form that both compresses and sprawls, expands and contracts, and which allows us to inhabit a world in one sitting. The emerging and established writers in this anthology break new territory in character, setting and storytelling. Each of their stories reveals to us something - intimate, electrifying, funny, beautiful - that we won't soon forget. \u003ci\u003eMiddle Distance: Long Fiction of Aotearoa New Zealand \u003c\/i\u003eis an anthology of new writing from VUP.
