An artist sends a drawing. A writer responds only to what she sees. No context. No explanation. Lindsay J. Sedgwick's stories are tiny and complete. Funny, fierce, tender, and occasionally devastating, they prove that flash fiction at its best carries the emotional weight of something much longer.Paired with the beautiful observational drawings from Belfast artist, Margaret Woods Moore, that inspired them, these 23 connected pieces prove that flash fiction, at its best, carries the emotional weight of something much longer. Sparks is a unique and life-affirming creative collaboration of art and storytelling and this edition also includes dedicated pages for other artists and writers, doodlers and scribblers to add collaborationsof their own. This is a book about looking carefully and letting your imagination take flight. Intimate observational drawings and flash fictions that range from wryly comic to quietly devastating, sometimes within the same piece, Sparks is a book that illustrates the unexpected power of creative conversation. And so, following the 23 pairings, the reader is invited to step inside the book and add five collaborations of your own, in whatever way you choose. So that the collaborative project continues.
