These cheeky narratives brutally and comically feature a range of ideas unusually blended, from Jack and the Beanstalk reinvented as a kind of sordid comedy set partly on earth and partly in the heavens of the Ancient Greek gods, to Making Waves which is a romantic fantasy set in the back of a taxi, to the very bizarre Dorian Todger, stories that revolve around the jam-obsessed captain of a spacecraft who begins a galactic quest to find a lost cat. Here are some of Amanda Fleet's most engaging Surrealist Awakenings, inspired by those dawning moments in life when reality slaps you in the face and leaves a sting.
