A haunting collection of new short stories from writers around the world, the Momaya Annual Review 2009 features fiction in a variety of categories from the winners of the Momaya Short Story Competition and winners of Momaya Awards, as well as beautiful illustrations and short stories celebrating the year's theme of "Alienation." In this edition you will find some fascinating stories: a girl goes to cash her dead junkie boyfriend's lottery ticket, a wife learns too late that her husband has left the house (and this world) forever, a child struggles to understand the subtext of words among adults (who never seem to use words in their strict dictionary sense).
