After the Fall and Other Short Stories and Flash Fiction by James Allan Kennedy is a sharply observed, darkly funny, and emotionally resonant collection that explores the peculiarities of the human condition in all its tragic, comic, and quietly absurd glory.
From the misty shores of Loch Ness to the humming elevators of high-rise cities, from the tender ruins of love affairs to moments of quiet revelation in everyday life, these stories span a rich and surprising landscape. Whether it's a man chasing myths and memories in the Highlands, a lawyer trying to outrun fate on Christmas Eve, or lovers unravelling amid the poetry of their own undoing, James Allan's characters are vivid, flawed, and entirely unforgettable.
With prose that is lyrical yet precise, occasionally surreal, and always humane, After the Fall is a treasure trove of lives briefly illuminated-where even in the smallest story, whole worlds unfold.
Perfect for fans of George Saunders, Tessa Hadley, or David Nicholls, this is short fiction that lingers long after the final line.
