Description
Graham Swift's first collection of short stories brings an edge of the extraordinary into familiar settings. These vivid and evocative tales explore the human experience of dislocation, as characters navigate the complexities of relationships, identity, and belonging. Set against the backdrop of everyday life, these stories reveal a hidden world of human fragility and uncertainty. With a keen eye for the foreign and the unfamiliar, Swift crafts narratives that are both haunting and thought-provoking. A masterful collection of stories, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the art of the short story.
