Issue 5 - Summer 2020
This Summer issue celebrates the start of Hinterland’s second year of publication in the only way we know how: by continuing to explore the very hinterlands of creative non-fiction. To that end, this issue features an extract of a work in progress from Ian Thomson that interweaves personal biography with a wider history of refugees, as well as the latest non-fiction from the Netherlands by Nina Polak in a new translation by Emma Rault, alongside a stand-out selection of memoir, essay, flash non-fiction, ekphrasis, psychoscape and much more.
Also featuring writing by Rob Atkinson, Cecily Blench, Lily Dunn, Margaret Hedderman, Jennifer Y. Montgomery, Peter Pool, Ian Seed, Laura Steiner and Hannah Storm.
180 pages, full-colour, softback.
