Nanonovels: Five-Minute Flash Fiction

"A dazzling storyteller" Amy Scheibe, Free Press, Simon & Schuster Ltd.

What happens when a bookshelf, a computer and a human mind collide?

150 particle fictions, prose poems and nanodramas about eagles, trolls, Oulipo, Taylor's Theorem, Walden, sylosis, dogs, bumfles, leeches, toasted diamonds and other unexpected inspirations from award-winning Scottish writer Jules Horne.

Horne was afflicted with an extreme form of writer's block known as writer's lock. Could a scientific experiment be the answer? She decided to write A STORY A DAY. IN FIVE MINUTES.

This playful collection of daily stories draws on the spirit of Oulipo, in a quest to investigate the interface between book, web and human imagination.
