Mostly Truthful flax019

Mostly Truthful is Flax’s first adventure into creative non-fiction. It grew out of an awareness of the strong content of blogs and wanting to celebrate that.

Perhaps this is the formalisation of those blogs? Certainly they have an external editor, although not all the contributors are bloggers. Although they all display that trait of blogs: passion, energy and immediate relevance to the writer, and I hope, you the reader.

The pieces that are in the anthology are very disparate – running from urban to rural, memoir to social and literary observation. But what does hold this anthology together is a willingness to explore the world we occupy – historically, physically and imagined – and an acceptance that we don’t necessarily understand it all.

Mostly Truthful is a vibrant collection of voices that represent a slice of now, of us being the brink, as always, of change and how we choose to respond to that, wherever the detail of our lives takes us.

Kate Feld, Jane Routh, Adrian Slatcher and Katherine Woodfine are honest, direct and generous writers who will ask you to reconsider how you view your past, your territory and passions.
