Catching the Barramundi by Rebecca Burns

Sudden, shattering moments of realisation; creeping, gradual self-awareness - Catching the Barramundi is a collection of contemporary short stories charting the dichotomous processes of reassessment and reflection. The settings vary, but the characters in each tale experience moments of introspection and self-scrutiny, quite out of step with their daily lives. *** Longlisted for the Edge Hill Short Story Prize 2013 ***
