'A dream sequence of endlessly shifting memories of sex,
disappointment, violence, migration and ambition in which identity
- and the definition of a story itself - is in a traumatised,
exhilarating state of flux' "Metro" The explosive perils of
adolescence, a Communist yet cosmopolitan country that falls apart,
and the overwhelming vertigo of a new life abroad: this is life in
which love is only one of many obstacles. Linked by a young man
finding his awkward way in the world, and shadowed by a sixth sense
for the absurdities of experience, these restlessly inventive
stories are shot through with deadpan humour and heartbreaking
truth, found in the most surprising of places. 'A dazzling
collection of stories, further cementing Hemon's position among the
finest fiction writers working in English' "GQ" 'Hemon's style,
muscular, original, lyrical yet anchored, irons out the lazy
creases in language' "The Times" '"Love and Obstacles" presents
itself as a collection of short stories, but in reality is
something far stranger and richer. Infinitely vibrant and alive'
"Financial Times"
