Singularity, By Charlotte Grimshaw
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Reprising characters familiar from her award-winning short-story collection, Opportunity, Charlotte Grimshaw once more trains her eye on the suburban streets of Auckland and the beaches of the west coast of New Zealand.
Highly descriptive portraits of mostly middle-class life catch up with Viola, a novelist on the brink, painter Per, and Simon, a medic with a dissolute dad.
In the volume's title story, Emily, a journalist sent on a media junket to Uluru, is distracted by some colourful companions such as an acquitted murderer. Elemental landscapes provide the backdrop to some highly evolved emotional states.
