“Top stuff” – Jellyfish by Janice Galloway

"Her stories – or, many of them – are perhaps best described (permission to riff off Virginia Woolf here, please) as explorations of moments rather than A-to-Z arcs tracing the teleology of a singular plot: she uses her allotted pages to carefully consider an instant in time or a state of being, to dig down, rather than wide, meaning that the satisfaction derived from these stories is less that of situations resolved and more that of situations recognised. For all her exactitude of imagery, her work lingers as an impression of a mood..." - Valerie O'Riordan reviews Jellyfish by Janice Galloway
