‘Landscape and Temporality in Short Fiction, Part 2’: Unquiet landscapes

Paul Anthony Knowles, Madeleine Sinclair and Ana García-Soriano introduce the second of the two Special Issues of Short Fiction in Theory and Practice dwelling on the themes of landscape and temporality in the short story and the short story cycle. The articles collected in this issue are attuned to the fragility of landscapes in a state of flux: caught between their haunted pasts and precarious futures. This current state of flux produces the impetus behind this issue’s exploration into how short story scholars and writers are critically investigating these unquiet landscapes.
