Tiffany Sunday

The Road to Somewhere Else marks a departure in Sunday’s writing. In the collection of short stories, poems, and essays, Tiffany Sunday challenges the recognitions and attitudes towards, expected and unexpected real and philosophical destinations. The collection continues the themes of longing, life regrets and search for authentic self from her book, Insatiable Consumption of Being. She explores the themes in a series fleeting and energetic depictions of real and figurative roads and pathways, that must be confronted; anticipated or unexpected.

In Sister and Brother, the nuance of the story unfolds, subtly delivering an unexpected ending and forced decision.Sunday contemplates the ability to test decisions by offering two different endings for French Garden, and the regret of settling and silencing the soul in Seagull Café.

Sunday’s quest for authentic artistic life, captured in her essays: Dear MysticIn Search of Silence, and Cape Cod, reveals the intricate coexistence of which roads and decisions to choose within the confines of society while protecting the creative soul. She identifies societal roadblocks on the map to “somewhere else” and offers an alternative path. Within this abstract collection, Sunday’s brilliance is the ability to convey nuances and connect the subtle occurrences that are often unnoticed in modern society.

The Road to Somewhere Else is available from Itasca Books

Book Reviews

In The Road to Somewhere Else, Tiffany Sunday challenges our recognitions of, and attitudes towards, expected and unexpected destinations. In serial fleeting and energetic depictions of real and figurative roads and pathways, she confronts us with experiences of the destinations, both anticipated and not, to which they lead—all the while managing to capture the gossamer of their tenuous coexistence in the human mind. By doing so, she identifies roadblocks on the map to “somewhere else” and invites readers to do the same.

Tiffany Sunday has been intrigued by the presence of Mystic, CT. Every denizen of our humble riverside village would recognize her description of the temporal permanence that stitches Mystic together over the centuries. Recommended.
