蜜芽传媒

As part of his role as Chair of the judges for the 蜜芽传媒 National Short Story Award 2018, Stig Abell dips into the archive to pick three from the world's great short story writers, celebrating Brief Encounters - those unexpected meetings that can be life changing: a painful reminder of things past or a sudden return to a moment of joy.

Elizabeth Taylor - Goodbye, Goodbye is read by Amanda Root.
Jane Gardam's The Tribute, is read by Miriam Margoyles and
Susannah Harker reads A Dill Pickle, from New Zealand's Katherine Mansfield.
