This is (not about) David Bowie

Every day we dress up in other people's expectations. We button on opinions of who we should be, we instagram impossible ideals, tweet to follow, and comment to judge. But what if we could just let it all go? What if we took off our capes and halos, threw away our uniforms, let go of the future. What if we became who we were always supposed to be? Human. This is (not about) David Bowie. It's about you. This Is (Not About) David Bowie is the debut flash fiction collection from FJ Morris. Surreal, strange and beautiful it shines a light on the modern day from the view of the outsider. From lost souls, to missing sisters, and dying lovers to superheroes, it shows what it really is to be human in a world that's always expecting you to be something else. 'Read this collection, then everything you can find by this exciting author.' KATHY FISH, AUTHOR OF WILD LIFE: COLLECTED WORKS FROM 2003-2018. 'Morris poetically shines a spotlight on modern life, boldly embracing different forms where lesser authors can barely manage a beginning, middle and end. A wonderful book, as imaginative as the Jean Genie himself.' ERINNA METTLER, AUTHOR OF STARLINGS. 'Freya Morris has a unique voice that is strong and daring. This collection of stories, poetry and miniature dramas is bright with brilliance - exciting, poignant, surreal, simultaneously other-worldly and utterly grounded. You find yourself instantly immersed in the crazy, startling, off-centre, sci-fi-esque world of Morris's outsiders and lost souls; characters who, like Bowie himself, are striving to find their identity, and often trying to be superhuman.' AMANDA HUGGINS, AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF SCRATCHED ENAMEL HEART.
