Introduction

Welcome to Future Fables by ESOP. In partnership with Literary Hub, the ancient storyteller ESOP spun yarns with moral teachings that still weave into the modern day. What sort of tales might he write in 2022? It is this question which these fables explore as award-winning writers reinterpret the form for contemporary times. We suggest enjoying them with a cup of warming tea, or perhaps something a little stronger. Today's tale is The Rad and the Hamster by Amelia Abraham who explores feminist issues and queer representation.
