A History of Hand Thrown Walls

A History of Hand Thrown Walls by Adele Evershed is a captivating novella-in-flash, blending interconnected flash fiction pieces with the timeless presence of hand-built walls scattered across Connecticut. Each story stands alone with its own beginning, middle, and end, yet together they weave a narrative tapestry deeply rooted in Connecticut’s landscape and history.

The collection takes diverse forms, including letters, pamphlets, poems, and traditional flash fiction, offering readers a rich and varied reading experience. Spanning centuries, the novella begins with tales from pre-colonial times, journeys through pivotal moments in history, and culminates in a dystopian future.

Recognized for its innovation and depth, A History of Hand Thrown Walls was shortlisted for The Reflex Novella Awards, making it to the final eight out of 145 submissions. This is a work where past, present, and imagination converge through the lens of storytelling.
