All This: Stories
Across continents and crossroads, this evocative and eclectic collection gathers vivid, compact writing that turns the ordinary inside out. Each piece captures a moment that feels familiar until it tilts, revealing something deeper beneath the surface. With sharp observation and a quiet emotional pulse, the writing explores the strange edges of daily life: the split-second choices that change everything, the people who linger in memory, and the places that leave their mark long after we have moved on.
"All This is breathtaking. Brilliant It's not a set of short stories. It's a life story with a thread running through it. In Bauhaus architecture, a series of planes that do not physically connect, together suggest a space. In this powerful work, Jon Anderson suggests spaces in his life, leaving us to imagine what else they might contain. A must read."
-Asif Shaikh, Former CEO of International Resources Group
"The whole point of flash fiction is to create-in a page, or perhaps in just a few-an impression that just won't let you go. Jon Anderson does this dozens of times in All This. Just when you think you've got him pinned down, he'll surprise you with a new form, a new rhythm, but in every case a stunning moment of connection and illumination. Every one will stop you in your tracks. Dip into All This and you'll encounter some of the finest flash fiction anyone, anywhere, is writing today."
-Stephen Altman, author of the verse novel, Blues for the Muse
