Description
David Constantine's fifth collection of short stories is a powerful exploration of the human search for sanctuary. The characters in these stories are all pursued by the violence and mendacity of the outside world, seeking refuge from the brutality and trauma that surrounds them.
Their experiences range from the ritualised brutality suffered at a Catholic orphanage to the harrowing videos shared among refugees of an atrocity 'back home'. Through these stories, Constantine sheds light on the darker aspects of human nature, revealing the complexities and fragilities of the human condition.
