S.B. Borgersen’s COLLECTED NOVELLAS Delivers Unforgettable Journeys Through Time, Place, and the Human Spirit
Unsolicited Press is proud to announce the release of COLLECTED NOVELLAS by acclaimed storyteller and poet S.B. Borgersen. This literary collection brings together three distinct yet thematically connected novellas—Passport to Perdita, Eva Matson, and Fishermen’s Fingers—each a profound exploration of identity, resilience, and the deeply human need to belong.
From the fog-laced coastlines of Nova Scotia to the turbulent shores of 1970s Cyprus, and back to Victorian England’s gas-lit streets, Borgersen’s narratives capture the essence of place and the complexity of human relationships. Her characters, flawed yet undeniably compelling, navigate societal expectations, personal tragedies, and the fight for equality in ways that resonate deeply with modern readers.
Passport to Perdita follows Gordon Drummond, a man whose discovery of an old suitcase after his father’s funeral sends him on an unexpected journey of self-discovery.
Eva Matson brings to life the story of an audacious woman born in 1900, whose path through love, war, and societal upheaval defies convention at every turn.
Fishermen’s Fingers immerses readers in the rugged, insular world of a Nova Scotian fishing village, where one man’s struggles reveal the haunting complexities of survival and redemption.
Critics have lauded Borgersen’s work for its sharp dialogue, evocative settings, and masterful storytelling. Adam Gibbs, author of Dumb Luck and Existentialism at the Wheel, calls Passport to Perdita “a heartfelt exploration of loss and discovery in a journey well worth taking.” Vanessa Couchman, author of The Tales of Corsica series, praises Fishermen’s Fingers as “gripping and utterly immersive, with a twist that left me floored.”
S.B. Borgersen’s COLLECTED NOVELLAS is a must-read for lovers of literary fiction that delves into the raw beauty of human resilience.
