Jeremy Gavron: The Off-Road Story (July 2017)

We are familiar with the road story—but what happens when a story turns off the road? Jeremy Gavron looks at how nudging characters even a short distance out of their familiar landscapes, their mapped worlds, can open up new possibilities, new ways of seeing, not only for the characters, but for the writers, too. Texts include “Brokeback Mountain” by Annie Proulx, The Accidental by Ali Smith, and “The Emerald Light in the Air” by Donald Antrim.
