Funny and serious, with a subtle power that accumulates like a shoplifter adding coat upon coat.--Mark Anthony Jarman
The stories in What Endures range through and respond to a clickbait world evolving at terrifying speed, revealing the absurd and ridiculous nature of everyday life What does it mean to endure in a world starving for truth and connection, what makes life worth living, what can be discovered and preserved from the onrush of experience--vicarious and actual--that comes at us? With bracing wit, Pauline Holdstock's stories move back and forth through time and circumstance to unpack what it is that saves us from despair, each of them pointing in their own magical way to that one, fragile thing that has the power to endure and to live on in others.
