Incredible Journey

Overview

Incredible Journey is the third of the annual SHORT.SHARP.STORIES anthologies. The incredible journeys of this year's title vary from road trips to mind trips, and are by turns inspirational, intriguing, and entertaining. Those that have made this year's shortlist have two things in common: 1) as in previous collections, they capture uniquely South African voices, and 2) they move the reader. The judges of this year's competition are Henrietta Rose-Innes, Ken Barris and Makhosazana Xaba, with a foreword to the collection by Sindiwe Magona.
