About This Item
London: Pan Books Ltd./Picador, 1993. First Edition . Hardcover. Fine/Fine. A pristine book that appears UNREAD. The first collection of short stories from the Booker Prize winning author of "Last Orders." Taut prose, spare, Kafkaesque like stories about men and women who are engaged in struggles ., these quiet combative relationships--between a mismatched couple; an aging doctor and his hypochondriacal patient; a teenage refugee swept up in the conflict between an oppressively sentimental father and his rebellious son--become a microcosm for all human cruelty and need. "Swift proves throughout this ambitious collection that he is a master of his language and the construction of provocative situations."--Houston Chronicle
