The Anthology

Unchained is an anthology of poetry and fiction published to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Bristol’s original chained library.

Unchained cover

Short stories have a lot in common with libraries: both are relatively small in size but unbounded in terms of what they contain and where they may take us. With a foreword by acclaimed short story writer Tania Hershman, Unchained is  diverse in every respect. Gathered together between the covers you’ll find a galaxy of voices, experiences, people, places and connections.

Unchained is published by Tangent Books of Bristol and was officially launched in 2013 as part of the Bristol Festival of Literature 

“These inventive, evocative tales are a truly wondrous tribute not just to Bristol’s venerable 400-year-old library service but to book palaces of every age, shape and kind.” Tania Hershman (The White Road, My Mother was an Upright Piano)
