The fifth shortlisted story in this year's NSSA plus an interview with the writer

BBC National Short Story Award 2021 - Maykopsky District, Adyghe Oblast by Richard Smyth

I had a great time chatting to author Richard Smyth. We talked about his inspiration, writing processes and the books he has published including his latest book "The Woodcock":"It’s 1920s England, and the coastal town of Gravely is finally enjoying a fragile peace after the Great War. Jon Lowell, a naturalist who writes articles on the flora and fauna of the shoreline, and his wife Harriet lead a simple life, basking in their love for each other and enjoying the company of Jon’s visiting old school friend, David. But when an American whaler arrives in town with his beautiful red-haired daughters, boasting of his plans to build a pier and pleasure-grounds a half-mile out to sea, unexpected tensions and temptations arise.As secrets multiply, Harriet, Jon and David must each ask themselves, what price is to be paid for pleasure?I was sent the beautiful track "Breathe" by Stellar Anderson and is the featured song of this episode - I think you will love it. https://www.fairlightbooks.co.uk/the-woodcock/https://richarddsmyth.com/https://ditto.fm/the-book-of-stellar-vol-1https://www.facebook.com/interstellaranderson
