Retro Retro brings together some of the best new literary talent from the US and the UK to pick and mix from the retro treasure chest: Marilyn Monroe goes browsing in a used bookstore in '50s New York. A Chinese fan of Hollywood musicals gets a Grace Kelly make over. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ride again on a cold winter's night in the '70s. An exotic romance flourishes in a thrift store in '80s bohemian Baltimore. A tortured cinephile tries to conjure the essence of cinema from thin air. Looking at the present through a rear-view mirror, Retro Retro offers readers a ticket to a new kind of time travel.

Who says you can never go back?
