Synopsis

A collection of driving related stories exploring the direction and propulsion of human experience via journeys and roads.


“E K Macdonald’s Wheel Spin and Traction is a wonderful debut collection full of colour and life. Each story connects to a specific car from a Jaguar XJ6 to a Nissan Sunny and everything in between, their owners’ lives explored in rich, specific detail. The cast of characters—both the people and the cars—is one to fall in love with, and the world around them is brought to the page with originality and flair. There are moments in the reading of these stories where you will find yourself holding your breath, moments that will tug at the heartstrings, moments that will make you laugh, moments that will make you think. Bold, ambitious and eclectic, Macdonald’s collection invites you into the passenger seat for a thoroughly entertaining journey."

-Matt Kendrick, writer, editor, and teacher of Write Beyond The Lightbulb

Pumping at Piha: “[has} masterful scene setting and pacing. I was in that VW, barrelling to the sea, feeling the anticipation, the buzz; even feeling slightly cool!”

-JP Relph, author of Know That We Held

Aircooled VW Baja; “…terrific structure, following the ten steps of taking a car to pieces and putting it back together again, echoing the short tale of a relationship... I enjoyed the kaleidoscopic nature of the piece, the careful bare-boned prose.”

-Vanessa Gebbie, author of The Cowards Tale, A Short History of Synchronised Breathing and other stories, and 51 and a Half Games and Ideas for Writers.

Hangar Straight – “A thrilling read.”
