Synopsis

A contemporary and hugely relevant anthology of culturally diverse writers responding to and engaging with Kipling's Just So Stories. Not the tales you were told Once upon a time, Rudyard Kipling's Just So Stories --fantastical yarns of wondrous creatures in faraway places--bewitched children across the world. But times change. Today, Kipling's writing tells us a different tale; of a love of Empire, and the troubling legacy of British colonialism. In Not So Stories, writers of colour from around the world reclaim these stories and remake them into something new. Something different. Something that belongs to us all. Including stories by Adiwijaya Iskandar, Joseph Elliott-Coleman, Raymond Gates, Zina Hutton, Georgina Kamsika, Cassandra Khaw, Paul Krueger, Stewart Hotston, Tauriq Moosa, Jeannette Ng, Ali Nouraei, Zedeck Siew, Wayne Santos and Achala Upendran.
