'The sixteen stories in this year's New Australian Fiction anthology differ in subject matter, form and style, but what they have in common is the sense of apprehension and uncertainty produced by the pandemic and by the threat to the environment and to humanity posed by the effects of climate change. As editor Rebecca Starford points out in her thoughtful introduction, even when the stories are ostensibly about such things as family, isolation, travel, or sexual uncertainty and adventure, the fragile mood of our times underlies them. It makes for introspective and vulnerable voices and characters, and often for memorable stories that linger in the mind.' The Age/Sydney Morning Herald
Praise for previous editions:

'Nuanced, captivating and accomplished.Australian short fiction is indeed alive and well.' Maxine Beneba Clark
