- The correspondence and evidence from the Publisher Salt Publishing confirms details of the publisher's original intentions to publish Graham Mort’s book during July 2020, which was hampered by the impact of Covid-19. Firstly, this was due to the spring/summer lockdown 2020, the percentage of furloughed staff as a consequence, and at some points, the complete closure of the publishing house, and a backlog of work (also an issue with external designers and printers). Secondly, the release of a back log of published outputs was further delayed by the impact of the UK Government’s tiered restrictions introduced late 2020.

- Additional information
- The book is the result of entirely individual research and invention and so is single-authored. The research was carried out in the UK, but also through extensive field-work in Italy, Portugal, Spain, France and South Africa. Involvement in and distance from locations formed a compositional dynamic and a research theme in the work, where stories explore absence, exile and the presence of the past in the formation of the present and future. A number of the stories have already been published or accepted by international and internationally recognised journals, comprising about 40% of the whole so far. The significance of the output lies in the range of social and political issues explored in the stories, the extension of short fictional form into longer formats, the technical innovations in stories that have a wide range of cultural locations and explore those locations, cultures and precipitating narrative events in relation to the temporal fluctuations and registrations of human consciousness.
