The mundane worlds of schools and sleepy sea-side towns are invaded and transformed, creating a landscape which is constantly shifting to hold on to its inhabitants. Teenagers develop ungodly appetites, a city becomes insomniac overnight, and bodies are diligently picked apart to make up better ones. In her brilliantly inventive and haunting debut collection of stories, Julia Armfield explores bodies and the bodily, mapping the skin and bones of her characters through their experiences of isolation, obsession, love and revenge. Gan bylu’r mythig a’r gothig gyda’r cyffredin, mae Salt Slow yn ystyried cymeriadau sy’n symud – yn troi i ffwrdd, troi’n ôl neu droi’n rhywbeth newydd yn gyfan gwbl. Yn ei chasgliad gwych o straeon dyfeisgar, mae Julia Armfield yn trafod ei chymeriadau drwy eu profiadau o unigedd, obsesiwn, cariad a dial.
