Young Mancunians
0 - Default Title
Description
Alienated from the city and themselves, young Mancunians struggle for a meaning in uncertain times. They are looking for something but don't know what it is. They are seeking answers but unsure of what they are or where to find them. Nothing ever happens but always does. Events unfold at rapid speed throughout the sluggish days. The present merges with the past, the future has already been and gone.
Young Mancunians depicts the city of Manchester in the 21st century, a city re-born from post-industrial decline, re-made in the image of neo-liberalism, haunted by a past that can't be erased. Behind the façade of the city centre, ever changing and in constant need for economic and territorial growth, issues of poverty, crime, and addiction are more prevalent than ever. In his collection, Craig Snelgrove confronts the self-mythology of Manchester, offering a unique portrayal of modern life within the city, one at odds from its mainstream perception, challenging the injustices and absurdities people are faced with through original short stories, providing fresh insight into the alienating effects of the modern city.
