The Half-Life of Songs is the long-anticipated sequel to David
Gaffney's critically acclaimed collection of flash fiction, Sawn
Off Tales, in which he managed to cram whole plot arcs and 3D
characters into tiny broken shards of fiction. In this latest
collection of micro stories, David Gaffney opens up a world where
thinking is illegal, where belly dancers' blood is used to
fertilize tomato plants, where pensioners in leather trousers dance
to two-step garage, and where an architect steals crested newts and
hides them in his bath. The stories are beyond odd yet always
ordinary; a warped backward-talking world of Lynchian surreality,
allowing an emotional insight into the rich interior lives of
social outsiders, the broken and the easily-breakable, perpetually
on the fringes of our world.
