After the Sun by Jonas Eika

These are uncomfortable stories – dystopian? - in different ways they deal with the disintegration of identity and the cruelty that we inflict on each other.


There is a slide away from reality, a touch of sci-fi, that moves the frame just a touch from the familiar that allows Jonas to bring into vision power plays that generally go unseen.


The writing is clever and captures you completely in the worlds that have been created – the pain is felt viscerally.
