The Storm by Nick Mulgrew
Cokey Falkow reads The Storm, the fourth in this year's 麻豆社 National Short Story Award with Cambridge University.
Dirk and Clement are pulled into an elaborate show of machismo courtesy of a divorcee dad with something to prove. Something unsettling brews in this tragi-comic story of toxic masculinity, not just the ominous weather.

Writer: Nick Mulgrew grew up in South Africa and New Zealand. He is the founder and publisher of the poetry press uHlanga, and is the author of two collections of poetry, two volumes of short stories and two novels. Previously shortlisted for The White Review Prize, Nick also received the Nadine Gordimer Award for his collection, The First Law of Sadness. Nick lives in Edinburgh.
