  NOMINATED FOR THE 2023 BULAWAYO ARTS AWARDS FOR OUTSTANDING LITERARY WORK
  'In turn these stories are funny, poignant, at times shocking, but always deeply moving.' – Ian Holding, Unfeeling
  '[a] wonderful collection of short stories' – Siphiwe Ndlovu, The Theory of Flight
  'Bryony Rheam's short stories are skilled, perfectly formed, and compelling ... a deeply satisfying collection.' – Karen Jennings, An Island
  Whatever happened to Rick Astley? She imagined that he was happily married with children. A record producer, perhaps? That was the usual way with singers, wasn't it?
  From Bryony Rheam, the award-winning author of All Come to Dust and This September Sun, comes a collection of sixteen short stories shining a spotlight on life in Zimbabwe over the last twenty years. The daily routines and the greater fate of ordinary Zimbabweans are represented with a deft, compassionate touch and flashes of humour.
  From the potholed side streets of Bulawayo to lush, blooming gardens, traversing down- at-heel bars and faded drawing rooms, the stories in Whatever Happened to Rick Astley? ring with hope and poignancy, and pay tribute to the resilience of the human spirit.

  Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
   
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
   
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
   
  Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
   
  Across the globe many European nations are trading with and conquering new lands in a frantic burst of Empire building.  At home, governments and societies eye one another with alarm, greed and even fear.  What will tomorrow bring?  For literature its sons and daughters, of whatever tongue, are bringing new stories with new ambitions to the eyes and ears of a hungry public.
