PRAISE FOR THE LAST FIVE MINUTES OF A STORM: "Filled with moment after moment of wonder, drama, intrigue, and grace. The stories are perfectly chosen; realism and fantasy, the quotidian and the singular clashing and complementing and ultimately comprising the most satisfying of experiences... works of extraordinary beauty." – Donal Ryan, award-winning, twice Booker-longlisted author of Strange Flowers. "A stunning collection of writings, full of beauty, power and skill, and the new truths we need to be reading." – Joseph O'Connor, bestselling author of 2019 Irish Novel of the Year Shadowplay. In this collection, 15 writers explore what it means to be at the climatic point of a crisis, with salvation just in sight – but not quite there yet!
