‘Voyage in the Dark’ by Claire-Louise Bennett

“Oh, but we were only little girls, little girls, there on the cusp of individuation, not little girls for long.”

The short story as prose poem, piece of music, perfect object. There are few writers living today that burrow underneath memory and consciousness and language like Claire-Louise Bennett.
