A Couple of Stops (Light Transports S.) - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

This book contains seven reads to get you from A to B via somewhere else, each lasting a couple of stops. The seven stories talk about how we grapple with the big world, how we hold on to people, how we let go. The collection is built round four Yorkshire based writers: Steven Hall takes you into the inner lives of the other passengers in your carriage; Mandy Sutter gets right inside one of those moments when certainties shift, the ground seems distant and things take on a life of their own. Kath McKay and Ellen Osborne explore how we move on after the death of someone close. They are joined by two writers who have worked for periods in the region, Tom Spanbauer takes us back to his house in Portland, Oregon, and Chenjerai Hove meditates on the fear Bible stories created in his Zimbabwean childhood. The collection starts by delving into the region's literary attic with a delightfully contemporary satire written by Winifred Holtby, in 1930.
