The eleven best entries from the Tasmanian Writers' Prize 2020 as judged by Lian Tanner, Cameron Hindrum and Don Defenderfer. "The stories in this collection work to refract time and memory in compelling ways-and in doing so, they also serve the connecting thread of this year's competition, that of "an island or island-resonant theme". The inherent invitation to dynamic interpretation underscores these stories and there is much satisfaction found in considering the ways in which this year's anthologised writers have imbued their work with such literal or metaphorical resonances". ~ Cameron Hindrum, Tasmanian author, playwright, poet
