Told in taut, urgent prose, this excerpt of ‘Sleepswim’ builds an entire world in a very short amount of space and time, and what a world it is, too. A dark mirror of the performative ways we live our lives in a time where social media can feel more real than the physical world itself, the story takes this thought to its logical extreme. While the outcome is, unsurprisingly, grim, moments of humour and failed good intentions allow the light in." |
