While animals understand the world without words, humans create our experiences as stories, translating past and future into tales told in the present. Stewart's stories take the notion of storytelling and expand to a consideration of how truth, misremembering, logic, lying, and uncertainty play together to affect our experience of reality. In an alternate reading of time, Stewart poses the suggestion that you may already have a future memory of reading this book, and reading the stories backward may bring us back to the present. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eShadows and Clouds\u003c\/i\u003e is the winner of the 2021 Omnidawn Fabulist Fiction Chapbook \/ Novelette Contest, chosen by Theodora Ziolkowski.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarcus Stewart\u003c\/b\u003e has written sketches and jokes for BBC radio comedy and plays for fringe theater.
