by Richard Holt
Paperback / softback
Description
A collection of microfiction and short stories by Australian author and artist, Richard Holt. Richard Holt invites readers into corners that become dark, into places in which they do not belong and into moments that will change things utterly for his imperfect protagonists.
The stories in What you might find grapple with misunderstandings, the weight of pasts and the moments when fates change course. Richard Holt's stories are truly addictive: perfectly formed, funny and tragic glimpses under the surface of life.
