‘Once You Break A Knuckle’, the debut short story collection by UEA writer DW (Dave) Wilson, is to be published in the UK by Bloomsbury this week. Dave (pictured) joined UEA in 2009 as the inaugural recipient of the Booker Foundation bursary, and is currently completing his PhD in Creative and Critical Writing under the supervision of Andrew Cowan and Stephen Benson. Once You Break A Knuckle’ was initially published by Hamish Hamilton in Canada last year. A story from the collection, ‘The Dead Roads’ – which was written during his MA year – was the 2011 winner of the BBC National Short Story Award. A more recent story, ‘One More Thing Coming Undone’, was recently shortlisted for the $6,000 CBC Short Story Prize.
