Zebra Crossing (Paperback)

From one of the true masters of flash fiction, Bruce Meyer, internationally acclaimed author and winner of numerous national and international awards, comes a captivating new collection.

Desire is a matter of life and death, a reflection of the mind that links an individual’s inner and outer worlds in ways that are both beautiful and terrible. In these hauntingly dark flash fiction narratives, award-winning writer Bruce Meyer examines the absurdity and complexity of desire. He explores the need to be understood, the pain that defines life even as we are shaped by it, and the necessity of seeking resolution to longing, be it good or bad. Meyer masterfully embraces the idea of an in-between place where necessity and illusion blur to accommodate our deepest desires.

Perhaps the most prolific Canadian author of poetry, short stories, flash fiction, non-fiction, and pedagogical texts, Meyer’s talent is unparalleled. This mesmerising collection will challenge your perceptions and leave you yearning for more.
