Elmet
by Fiona Mozley
Evocative, subtle, and poetic is how I would describe this beautiful piece of writing. Mozley has accomplished the rare feat of perfect balance: everything here is just right, from the descriptions of the stark yet bountiful landscape to Daniel's innocent retelling of his family's plight. I was particularly captivated by the fact that the narrative is so controlled - it approaches many things, yet subtly retreats while leaving a haunting impression of what is left unwritten.
