Up Front: Flash Fiction - Paperback

by Ken Rivard (Author)

Following the enormous success of CanalWatch, Ken Rivard reaffirms his place as an original master of flash fiction with Up Front... Up Front is an electrifying collection of flash fiction stories, each approximately 500 words in length, that are based on actual events that occurred during the beginning and ending years in an inner-city, secondary school. Each story attempts to capture the energy of a specific moment in the real lives of adolescents while pulsating with the raw energy and emotion of these young lives. Some stories ingeniously loop back on themselves, with the final line echoing the opening, creating a captivating narrative frame.
