Publisher's Synopsis

Relatively Trueis a vibrant collection of short stories that reflects on the porous boundariesseparatinglies, half-truths, and the truth. We live in a world of elastic truth, click- bait, disinformation and fake identities. Opinions, beliefs and conspiracy theories clamour to be given equal time and weight with facts. Whose truth is more relevant and meaningful yours or mine? The stories in Relatively True confront and address this question, and more, in surprising and inventive ways. Each narrativeprobes the vexing impact that fluctuatingideas of truth haveon us. From self-deception to trickery on a wider scale, this anthology of short fiction from Australia and South Asia enchants, provokes and enlightens, from the first story to the last.
