Front Lines: Short Stories on Modern Society by Writers Under 25

Front Lines is a new anthology of short stories on the theme of ''anti-conventionalism, anti-society, and young people''s anger at the world that has been left by the generations before us.'' Its six contributors are all under 25, the young people living on the front lines of Austerity Britain. The selected stories are uncompromising and gripping, offering a fascinating insight into the minds of our creative, socially-engaged young people.
