This Week I Am Mostly Reading…
Found this while shopping in Galloway & Porter, a lovely cheap bookshop in Cambridge where I can always be found when I’m visiting Cambridge.
Its a rather disturbing collection of short stories tied together with an overall plot about writers being invited to a three month writing retreat. I’m not convinced by the plot holding it all together but the short stories are genius, if a little sick in places.
Strangely it along with several other copies was found in each of the children’s sections. I can only assume it has either been shelved wrongly or (the option I hope is true) placed there in some sort of Tyler Durdenesque prank to upset small children with books containing rather graphic stories.
