UEA MA Non-Fiction & Prose Fiction Anthology 2024

This provocative cornucopia of fiction and non-fiction reminds us why we read. Exploring the complexities of the human condition, UEA’s 2024 Prose Fiction MA graduates make fresh and astonishing territory of the everyday, be it the back of a truck or the inside of a cocoon. Roaming present-day Sri Lanka, Nigeria, East Anglia, 1900s New York and AI futures, these perceptive narratives offer bold, urgent and often daring insights into what it means to be alive today. The submissions of the Biography and Creative Non-Fiction MA cohort are equally electrifying. From family history, memoir and psychogeography to historical investigations, essays and non-fiction novels, the eighteen non-fiction pieces in this collection pulsate with emotion, intrigue and mind-bending narratives. With forewords by Priscilla Morris and Miranda France, and introductions by Julianne Pachico and Ian Thomson, this anthology showcases some of the finest writing talent emerging today.
