a radio interview produced by Michael Shirrefs
The moving voice of American short-story writer ZZ Packer, whose understated observations of human nature have the power to get under a reader’s radar.
Packer’s stories, in her collection titled Drinking Coffee Elsewhere, are set across a range of black communities in the US. Yet these stories defy colour, race, religion and gender, stripping away layers until what’s left are small, fragile human moments that are jarringly familiar and poignantly slight.
