Publisher Description
Seventeen short stories collected from three master storytellers with a simply superb range of ideas. Covering everything from love to war to fairy-tales and even historiographic metafiction and experimentally framed narratives, this collection proves the sheer versatility of its authors. This is an eccentric and eclectic mix of exuberant imagination and, from time to time, something a little darker and a lot deeper. In Kyle, Kerr explores the conventions of the noir genre. Queen Katherine is a reformation of the Robin Hood myth framed within a satirical sketch of modern life. In There Were No Other Lights, Forbes offers a snapshot of the life of a man for whom time has marched on, leaving him alone as a stranger in an unwelcoming 21st Century. Space, Remembered, portrays the breakdown of a relationship in an all too near future where living space, both inner and outer, becomes a distant memory. In A Story of Love, the hero struggles to balance feelings of separation with nostalgia about his father. And in You Can't Go Home Again, Robinson explores how trying to find something that hurt once to loose can hurt much, much more. Put the feet up, the kettle on and enjoy.
