Bubbling at the Surface

by Emmie Manulli

What is bubbling at our surface? Emotions, beliefs, desires, fantasies? Are we letting off steam or wearing a mask of containment? Through this collection of often quirky or poignant short stories Manulli takes literary snapshots of simmering and fizz, which at times takes her characters by surprise. As an observing reader be prepared to snatch your own emotional bubble or two as you encounter the accidental candour of ordinary lives meeting the familiar themes of love, sex, illness, death, faith or power. Accept the occasional invitation to suspend your beliefs and play with the fiction of fantasy. Manulli suggests that the stories are read in order of their presentation. The 'tongue in cheek' concluding narrative will make no sense at all unless read last; it ties up loose ends from most of the previous yarns...or does it?
