The men and women in these spare, Kafkaesque stories are engaged in
struggles that are no less brutal because they are fought by proxy.
In Graham Swift's taut prose, these quiet combative
relationships--between a mismatched couple; an aging doctor and his
hypochondriacal patient; a teenage refugee swept up in the conflict
between an oppressively sentimental father and his rebellious
son--become a microcosm for all human cruelty and need.
"Swift proves throughout this ambitious collection that he is a
master of his language and the construction of provocative
situations."--"Houston Chronicle"
