WritersMosaic has unveiled the fifth edition of its print publication WritersMosaic Quarterly. In ‘Everyone has an elsewhere’, nine writers embark on a quest to evoke pasts whose truths are slippery and elusive – a time travel to such moments – whether physical, metaphorical or a combination of both. 

WritersMosaic Quarterly 05 features stories from Andy Bay, Isabelle Dupuy, Colin Grant, Suzanne Harrington, Nanah Hovhannisyan, Sarah Issever, Hannah Lowe, and Mirza Waheed, who have all answered the challenge of writing about what they remember without verifiable facts and few sources. Remembrance is central to memoir writing, but our memories are often unreliable – frequently tweaked and fictionalised. The new collection features poignant pieces, some serving as bridges between the living and the dead. In others, memories are sparked upon returning to places of the past, now haunted in the present by ghosts disconcertingly remembered, or which rekindle warm memories. In ‘Everywhere has an elsewhere’ the elusive emotional truth behind narratives and storytelling is explored with empathy, with each story offering a revelatory glimpse into the past.
