Napoleon's Roads

About this book

Evocative tales of memory, language, and the search for meaning in a fragmented world. David Brooks, a master of the written word, presents a thought-provoking collection of short stories that are both lyrical and experimental. These stories conjure fragments of memory and time, capturing streetscapes and heartscapes in a mosaic-style splendor.

Explore the complexities of loss, the power of imagination, and the relationship between language and reality. Meet writers, dreamers, and observers as they navigate urban landscapes, rural villages, and the abstract spaces of the mind. This collection exemplifies some of the most sophisticated, polished, and beautiful contemporary literature in Australia today.

Napoleon's Roads is perfect for readers of literary fiction, short story enthusiasts, and those interested in Australian literature and experimental narratives. Discover a world where memory shapes reality and language bends to the will of the imagination.
