The characters in the collection mirror today’s fast paced restless energy. They’re not content to be written in by anybody else but themselves and are all striving to recreate their world, through performance, or an expansion of what they are.
In this long-awaited debut volume, Jay Merill brings together her poignant stories of everyday life. Merill’s narratives are charged with restless energy, her characters seek to come to terms with disappointment, ambivalence and compulsion. Merill’s stories explore themes of transcendence, change and escape, often at odds with a fast-changing, indifferent world. In ‘Beacon’ Tilly lights candles on her dead plant to show the way to a better future. In ‘WatchTower’, Clara copes with her life by imagining she is a character in a play. Jay Merill’s distinctive writing captures every nuance of the tiny moments that transform us.
