The Last Time I Lived Anywhere Real: Stories From Aerial 1998-2019

This anthology of stories and its companion anthology of poems. A flower for the dashboard collect writing from a weekly creative writing course held in Grahamstown/Makhanda since 1998. The two anthologies bring together more than eighty writers from 21 years of the annual course publication Aerial.

The stories in The last time I lived anywhere real speak of childhood experiences, transitions of all kinds, and how our cracks and flaws make us more (or less) human. Each has its measure of love, joy, heartbreak and humour, whether dark and twisted, wry and light-hearted, or bittersweet.
