Eclectic, entertaining ...almost all British, if not human, life is
here' Boyd Tonkin, Independent 'Mind-stretching, heart-breaking,
beautifully-crafted fiction' Claire Harman, Evening Standard 'She
would tear the house down - shatter the windows, slash the
furniture, flood the baths, fire the curtains!' Hilarious,
exuberant, surreal, subtle, tender, brutal, spectacular and above
all unexpected: this extraordinary selection celebrates the British
short story from the 1920s to the present day. From Angela Carter
to V. S. Pritchett, Elizabeth Taylor to J. G. Ballard, Ali Smith to
a host of little-known works from magazines and periodicals, and
including tales of air-raids, phone sex, snobbery, modern-day
slavery, grief, desire, the familiar and the strange, here is the
short story in all its limitless possibilities. Edited and with an
introduction by Philip Hensher, the award-winning novelist, critic
and journalist.
