This Way To Departures by Linda Mannheim
What happens when we leave the places we're from? What do we lose, and who do we become, and what parts of our pasts are unshakeable? Linda Mannheim's second short story collection tells the stories of twelve people who have relocated - both voluntarily and involuntarily. THIS WAY TO DEPARTURES is a deeply affecting portrait of American society and the constant search for a place to call 'home'.
Linda Mannheim is the author of several books including the novel Risk (Penguin) and Above Sugar Hill (Influx Press). She has written a number of Kindle Singles including 'Noir' and 'Trigger'.
Born in the United States, Linda Mannheim spent the first seventeen years of her life in New York. She has been an exchange fellow at Kunstlerhaus Schloss Wiepersdorf in Germany and a journalism intern in Nicaragua under the Sandinista government.
Eimear McBride wrote that: "Mannheim's restive tales of her desiccated stretch of New York provoke and abide like a slap." Above Sugar Hill was longlisted for the Edge Hill Short Story Prize and was a #readwomen pick of the year.
