  What if a single day could expose the quiet unraveling of a man who believes he has everything under control? In “Mr. Reginald Peacock’s Day” by Katherine Mansfield, you follow a respected, self-assured teacher whose orderly world begins to fracture beneath the surface. As Mr. Peacock moves through the routines of his day - his classroom, his colleagues, his home - small disturbances ripple outward, revealing tensions he would rather ignore. Beneath his cultivated manners and professional authority lies a growing sense of unease and emotional isolation. Mansfield exposes the fragile pride of a man clinging to respectability, and the widening gap between appearance and truth. With her signature psychological insight, she transforms ordinary moments into sharp revelations. Press play and step into one of Mansfield’s most incisive studies of character - where routine becomes reckoning, and a single day brings a carefully maintained identity into question.

  Lord Dunsany (24 July 1878 – 25 October 1957) was a London-born Anglo-Irish writer and dramatist notable for his work in fantasy. He was influenced by Algernon Swinburne, who wrote the line "Time and the Gods are at strife" in his 1866 poem "Hymn to Proserpine", as well as by the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. In turn, Dunsany's influence was felt by H. P. Lovecraft and Ursula K. Le Guin. Arthur C. Clarke corresponded with Dunsany between 1944 and 1956. Those letters are collected in the book Arthur C. Clarke & Lord Dunsany: A Correspondence. Time and the Gods, a series of short stories written in a myth-like style, was first published in 1906. (Summary from Wikipedia)

  The Harvest of Time - From their...

  One of the ‘truths’ about writers is that after a successful first book the agonies of the second devour both time and talent.  For Daniel Sheehan that seems to have been turned on its head.  Rather than go forward it was easier to look back, to dredge rather than furrow, gathering words, lines and phrases from the past and re-fashioning, distilling and evolving stories of simplicity, complexity, light and dark. Sometimes very dark. 
  His work is often characterized by a modern, intimate, and somewhat mysterious style, focusing deeply on the emotional connection between lovers.
