Where It Leads You

Thirteen writers including Gift Blessing. One theme. Infinite ambition. Stories We Tell returns with its third consecutive anthology in which thirteen Stockholm-based international authors take on the many faces of ambition—its quiet hunger, its sharp edges, its moments of brilliance and of ruin. Clever, darkly funny, and a little unsettling, the anthology explores how ambition shapes us. From overworked employees and fed up farmers to stressed single moms and stalwart students, from regretful writers to the text itself: the one constant is the character’s inner drive. Just as too much ambition can be a dangerous thing, too little can ruin your life. Ambition moves us all, but until the story unfolds, you won’t know where it leads you.
