Fixed Point by Eley Williams

Short Works

Available for 15 days

“Georgina had worked as a living statue for about ten years. She believed in no uncertain terms that this cold day in March must be her hardest day at the job so far.” Eley Williams reads her own short story for radio, bringing us a portrait of a fixed point in a changing, changeable world. Williams' writing is "elegantly droll without the kind of hipster quirkiness that makes me want to hurl books at the wall." (Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent). Producer: Becky Ripley First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in June 2020.
