- Description
- Examines the history, purpose, and effects of "quick fiction." Royle draws examples from his own writings, as well as the works of past authors, noting how "quick fiction" explores themes of "lifedeath [sic], spectrality, and radical otherness," seeing this genre as "a sort of spectral writing: I think of fleeting appearances or apparitions in Chaucer, Shakespeare, Wordsworth . . . and so on."
