Articoli correlati a The Ghost Who Bled
A simple act of gallantry in the Malaysian jungle spawns a lifelong feud in the Home Counties... A fading actor with a terminal illness devises a meticulous plan to leave the stage in style...A pregnant composer contemplates motherhood at the end of civilisation... Spanning centuries and continents, the stories in this collection amount to a tour de force of literary worldbuilding. From deeply insecure time travellers to medieval mystics and futuristic body modification cults, Norminton’s characters find themselves torn between conflicting impulses – temptation and fortitude, hubris and shame, longing and regret. By turns sad, strange and darkly comic, The Ghost Who Bled reveals a master storyteller of incredible range.

Recensione:
'Good fiction encourages us to look at the world from another s perspective, and in his new short story collection, Norminton explores this idea in extremis ... Norminton s host of vivid characters and minutely realised situations transfix; we can't help but share the bitter-almond taste of fear of the various snares of these lives. 'Guardian
'Witty, intelligent, crunchily written, Norminton's collection is pure reading pleasure' --Neel Mukherjee (Booker-shortlisted author of The Lives of Others)
'This is a sublime collection of short stories by a writer whose breath-taking flexibility of style gives life to an array of different voices... Unfailingly beautiful, deceptively simple and lyrically powerful' The Irish Times
'All the doors of the imagination are open to Gregory Norminton, the author of micro-fictions and exuberantly long novels; this collection roves magnificently from one side of the world to the other, bringing together people and their predicaments as only its author can. Read it and be transported, too.' --Michael Caines (The TLS)
'Gregory Norminton's tautly written, mordant short stories make the reader sit up and think. Startlingly original imagery and that rare thing, moral and political bite.' --Maggie Gee
