The Light That Remains, and other stories

September 24, 2007 in london, writing by Paul Currion | 3 comments

One of my short stories won the Leaf Books open short story competition last year, and has now been published as the title story in an anthology called “The Light that Remains and other stories“. You can buy it online at the Leaf Books website and eventually through Amazon (I hope).

“The Light That Remains” is a spare and unsentimental story about death, except it’s not. It’s about how to look at the world differently, except the main character is blind. It’s about reading, except that nobody opens a book throughout the whole story. It’s about London, except it’s the London that most people forget about.

I enjoyed writing it, and you might enjoy reading it. Why not buy a copy and let me know how it goes?

    Tom - don’t be silly, you’ll have to shell out the cash if you want to read it. Don’t worry though - I will be publishing some online stories soon. Just trying to work out the right format….

    Sue - thanks, I’ll make sure you get a copy. Probably my esteemed parents will start passing them around at Christmas!
