News and reviews
You can tell that Carys Davies has been a journalist Some of her short stories barely make a second page But by the end of the story, the reader will have understood something which might have taken the fictional character a lifetime to know It’s all about compression
Carys is a Quaker and has recently published Some New Ambush, her first collection of short stories Here are sad tales of consequences, of returning mariners in the early twentieth century coming back after a long voyage to commercial reality; of the aftermath of childhood abduction; and other stories of sequels The ‘New Ambush’ of the title hints at some unexpected outcome, surprising and unwelcome But humour is there as well, woven into the surprises Her work has been acclaimed, with a string of literary prizes including second prize in the inaugural 2002 Orange Harpers & Queen short story competition She has worked as a journalist in London, New York and Chicago
