Nora Nadjarian lives in Nicosia, Cyprus. She has published three collections of poetry: The Voice at the Top of the Stairs (2001), Cleft in Twain (2003) and 25 Ways to Kiss a Man (2004). Her second poetry collection Cleft in Twain was cited by The Guardian in an article on the literature of the new European Union member states in 2004. In addition to a book of short stories, Ledra Street (2006) and a book of fairy-tale inspired microfiction Girl, Wolf, Bones (2011), she has had work published online and in journals in the UK, the United States, Australia and elsewhere. Her stories have won prizes and commendations in the Commonwealth Short Story Competition, the Binnacle International Ultra-Short Competition and the Seán Ó Faoláin Short Story Prize.
'Nora Nadjarian's remarkable stories demonstrate the infinite
flexibility and potential of the short story form. They are at once
poignant, witty, stylish, and beautifully observed miniatures of
magic realism. They manage to be both experimental, pushing the
boundaries of the form outwards, and instantly engaging. This is a
wonderful collection of mingling, overlapping, conflicting and
converging voices.' JONATHAN TAYLOR'A compelling and poetic
collection of short stories with a dark underbelly, full of raw
emotion and human truth. Stories of women making sense, taking
action and nursing wounds inflicted by men, by fate and historic
events, by dark family secrets and haunting memories.' EVE
MAKIS'Nora Nadjarian's distilled short stories are abrupt and
intense, as invigorating and aromatic as a double shot of literary
espresso.' ANJALI JOSEPH
