Description
A surreal and wry collection of short stories.In her first collection of short stories, Wendy Perriam casts a candid and often humorous eye on the quirks and neuroses of contemporary society. Her characters are, to say the least, diverse: a grief-stricken widow manacled by a set of painted false nails; a son who keeps vigil by his mother's deathbed, fully aware that she isn't his mother; a frustrated painter with an eating problem, and a pregnant young girl who insists she has never had sex and is finally vindicated by a punk angel sporting an eyebrow-stud and a nose-ring. In these 18 compelling stories, dreams are enacted, desires fulfilled, demons exorcised."
