EMC’s new anthology brings together the principles
behind both Literary Shorts and Diverse Shorts, to
offer a wide and exciting range of short stories that
challenge and engage students.
In putting together this anthology featuring new
and established writers, we did a lot of reading! The
stories which made it into Iridescent Adolescent
exemplify the best of the contemporary short
story, reflecting not only diverse voices but diverse
approaches to the form. All offer plenty for students
to get their teeth into thematically and all provide
opportunities for literary discussion – both creative
and critical.

Stories in the anthology by:
Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie, David Almond,
Margaret Atwood, Barbara Bleiman, Rebecca
Boroson, Anita Desai, Neil Gaiman, Jessie
Greengrass, Caroline Hadilaksono, Barbara Jenkins,

          exploration.

          Areas covered include:
          • Language and style
          • Characters
          • Genre
