Title Description
History of a Lonely Short Story
World Book Day, limited edition
History of a Lonely Short Story is the first title in the Quality Publishers trilogy, In the City-State of Books, a Short Story sets out on a quest to become meaningful. Along the way he encounters Galley Proofs, Elegies, a lying Myth Book, a Bible under padlock, and the shadowy Green Book who holds the stolen Incidents of an entire literary underclass. Part allegorical novel, part metafictional odyssey, History of a Lonely Short Story is a work ten years in the making - illustrated throughout in the tradition of Gustave Doré, and written with the wit and melancholy of a form that knows its own limitations better than any other.
Swift meets the Coen Brothers. An Allegory about Inequality.
History of a Lonely Short Story is the first title in the Quality Publishers trilogy, alongside Interview met AI Albert and Short Fuse by Huis in 't Veld - three works that together mark the debut of an independent English-language voice from the Netherlands.
