A macho struggle for supremacy over a barbecue; a young boy's
daydream carved on a wall; a snatched moment of passion in a
cramped tunnel deep underground; two obsessive genealogists united
by a century-old tragedy; and one man's bizarre newspaper-buying
habits.
These unforgettable moments chronicle the lives of a diverse
range of characters, played out against a backdrop of over 150
years of British industrial history. The author explores the
effects--both protective and oppressive--of industrial communities
on those who live at the heart of them. His lucid prose vividly
depicts the humanity of the individual struggling to gain a footing
in this world of mass-identity, and the devastating consequences of
the industrial decay of the late Twentieth Century on those whose
lives have been built around it.
This finely crafted short story collection introduces a fresh
and youthful new voice in fiction.
