Visual and performance artist, and winner of the inaugural Kill Your Darlings
Manuscript Award, SJ Norman turns their hand to fiction with spectacular
results. Permafrost explores the shifting spaces of desire, loss and longing.
Inverting and queering the gothic and romantic traditions, each story represents
a different take on the concept of a haunting or the haunted. Though it ranges
across themes and locations - from small-town Australia to Hokkaido to rural
England - this collection is united by the power of the narratorial voice, with
its auto-fictional resonances, dark wit and swagger. Whether recounting the
confusion of a child trying to decipher their father and stepmother's new
relationship, the surrealness of an after-hours tour of Auschwitz, or a journey
to wintry Japan to reconnect with a former lover, Permafrost unsettles,
transports and impresses in equal measure.
