Produktinformationen "Dangerous Pleasures: A Decade of Stories"
Curious childhood loyalties, long-hidden memories, newly discovered joys, startling secrets, dislocated relationships, overwhelming, thrilling passions. In prose which is vivid and fresh, Patrick Gale explores the subtle boundaries that shift between the fantastic and shockingly real. With characteristic insight and wit and with consummate ease, he draws the reader into lives both familiar and strange, revealing a world that shines with possibilities and will never fail to delight."The stories deal with revelation, with what people can become given the right set of circumstances and with the danger that comes with change. Sparky stuff." SUNDAY EXPRESS"Delightful... the collection includes a Barbara Pym-ish skit about the denizens of a cathedral close, a cautionary tale of a bad tempered girl who gets locked in a wardrobe, and the story of a long-suffering wife who decides its her turn to receive oral sex." INDEPENDENTHe excels at capturing emotion and deals poignantly with universal themes of love, loss and embarrassment." DAILY TELEGRAPH"Wit and wisdom, metaphor and moment constantly combine to delight." THE TIMES
