A Body Remembered
A Body Remembered incorporates the best of Chislett’s short story writing from 1991 to 2009. The stories cover a wide spectrum of genres and themes: from horror to myth, morality tales and slice of life vignettes. All are shot through with his trademark visual writing style and acerbic twist-in-the-tale humour.A Body Remembered contains fifteen stories that range from straight-out horror tales to curious slice of life vignettes from the underbelly of South African urban life. This special e-book edition includes illustrated versions of 3 of the original stories, as well as the rest of the original volume. The illustrations, drawn by Christopher “Manik” Moon, bring new life to Chislett’s already evocative writing. “My primary concern with most of my writing is the exploration of identity and the meaning it either creates or doesn’t” says Chislett. “This I explore in most of the stories either through structural or thematic devices. But on the surface, I hope that they are just plain good stories that are fun to read. Short stories are the fiction of today: bite sized, easy to digest and prefect for reading on the hoof. I hope that lots of people agree with me!” Now available as an e-Book for the first time
