An extraordinary collection of short stories from the Man Booker
prize longlisted author of HYSTOPIA. In the tradition of Raymond
Carver or Tobias Wolff, these are all-encompassing stories of the
American psyche, of love and loss and of the landscape and its
people. A goldfish circles in its bowl, refusing to die, becoming
the silent focus of a difficult family life; a pianist loses his
talents as he is forced to question the meaning of love and
commitment. Through a blend of lyricism and humour, these stories
of ordinary human dilemmas take flight and become mythical and
universal. David Means is a rare writer who transports us to the
heart of what it is to be human.
