Publisher's Synopsis
Where Oceans Meet is a collection of sixty-one flash fictions from award-winning New Zealand writer Heather McQuillan. Though small, the stories in Where Oceans Meet are substantial, often moving, and impressive in their employment of detail. They bring to the page varied perspectives and diverse aesthetics from a realism to surrealism. These are stories in which characters yearn for connection but sometimes find, as in the title story, that 'when the vectors of the oceans' wave fronts meet at an angle, sometimes they cancel each other, sometimes they compound with spectacular results'.
