Flying pigs. Alien words. Mayhem. Superheroes. Armageddon. Romance.
This is Writers of Kazakhstan 2024.
In December 2023, dozens of young writers participated in StudyRoom Language Center's annual writing competition. They were each given four photos and had to create an original story in under an hour. This collection gathers together the best stories for their first time in print.
This collection is for anyone who wants to see the world through the eyes of another culture. Kazakhstan is a massive country full of unique customs and history that most outsiders don't know much about. In many ways, the authors in this collection share the same interests and concerns as anyone else. In other ways, though, their perspectives are wildly unique. This book offers a taste of Kazakhstan's amazing creativity and specific sense of humor.
Plus, there's a bunch of flying pigs. Everyone loves flying pigs.
