WORTH CONSUMING!
A remarkable collection of short stories from a somewhat unacknowledged master of the genre. Centred on themes of death, disease and deminishment, these stories manage to treat the sheer strangeness of life, and what people do to try and cope with with a straight forward realism, comparable to Raymond Carver, that serves to highlight how the actions and lives of the characters are at once, both distinctly their own yet reminiscent of ours. Outstanding.
