Sunday Short: 'This is Who You Are. You'll See' by Nicola Redhouse

At the same time you are all too aware that you have never taken much interest in your mother’s work, which is in the field of grief. You drive down to see her and, over a bowl of bouillabaisse, you ask her about it. You want to know why she chose grief, and she tells you it was the only area of work that your father hadn’t been interested in.

Meanjin's publishing such interesting stories at the moment. Nicola Redhouse's 'This is Who You Are. You'll See'  is a pretty great example of it too - a compelling, high concept, science fiction short which plays with psychology and memory in similar ways to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The effect is something unexpectedly wonderful, with a story that sneaks up on you in the best ways.

You can read 'This is Who You Are, You'll See' over on the Meanjin website.
