How do you convert the First World War into a short
story?
This month we're joined by Dr Ann-Marie Einhaus (Northumbria)
to explore short fiction published during and after the First World
War. Along the way we discuss what makes a short story, the varying
themes that appeared over time, and how too many sandwiches may be
a sign of a German spy.
