Miniatures: A collection of short short stories by Susan Midalia
Susan Midalia’s Miniatures is a provocative collection of short short stories casting an unflinching eye on modern social issues and themes: from family dynamics, climate change and the value of reading and writing to national and gender identity.
Satiric, compassionate, poignant and witty, these technically deft and inventive stories reveal the vexations, absurdities and hidden desires of parents and children, lovers, politicians, and those who delight in the power of the written word.

Praise for Susan Midalia
‘Each character is unique and closely observed. They have their own
way of speaking, their own perspectives. This is a writer who goes
deeply into their inner lives and uses language as well as sentiment
to convey this.’ – Australian Book Review
‘Susan Midalia is particularly good with life’s awkwardnesses,
especially as endured by the innocent or naïve … Deep in the heart
of the most comfortable suburbia there’s a faulty valve, and Midalia
is adept at finding it.’ – The Australian Literary Review

Eugen Bacon –
Susan Midalia’s deadly precision in the craft of the short story is only surpassed by the knife edge of each vignette’s dark, obsidian finish. Absurdly splendid.
