In this volume 32 short stories, as life itself writes them. They take the reader from Germany to Switzerland, to Cameroon - even as far away as India and even Tibet. Some cheerful, some sad, but all entertaining and thought-provoking. The author endeavours to use polished, elevated language and is far removed from today's unfortunately often used 'telegram style'. Spoken by AI's Sonia Neural and Ryan Neural.Ver livro

We Aim to Live is a collection of fourteen powerful, dark and funny short stories, about ordinary people – mostly men – at moments of crisis, crossroads or revelation. The stories look unflinchingly at men's behaviour and the moments when masculinity is on the edge of turning dangerous. Some stories portray the toxic world of professional football drawing upon the writer's past in that world; while others are set in high end hotels, removals firms and sheds. Here, the issues of masculinity, class and the struggle with life's small (and large) humiliations are all told in an authentic and utterly distinctive voice.Ver livro
