MINT LOUNGE FICTION SPECIALS

For the first week of every year, Mint Lounge hands the job of storytelling to some of the country’s most interesting writers of fiction. We invite them to look ahead and tell us how they see the world or what they imagine it to be. Like every year, we shared a simple prompt with authors and requested them to re-interpret it for the year ahead. This year’s prompt is “War and Peace”, part literary, part philosophical and very real in the world we inhabit right now. The collection of stories that follow is a result of this. 
We tell stories to understand the world we live in Premium
