Sinossi

A collection of fifteen short stories depicts the lives of middle-class citizens in Dublin, capturing the paralysis and frustration of the city at the turn of the century. From childhood to maturity, the characters face moments of "epiphany" where the mundane reality of their lives is suddenly illuminated. The prose is realistic and precise, offering an unflinching look at the stagnation of Irish society. It is a masterful study of human nature, disappointment, and the quiet tragedies of everyday life.

    A Man of Means

    A Man of Means is a collection of six short stories written in collaboration by P. G. Wodehouse and C. H. Bovill. The stories all star Roland Bleke, a nondescript young man to whom financial success comes through a series of "lucky" chances, the first from a win in a sweepstake he had forgotten entering. Roland, like many a timid young man seeks love and marriage. In this pursuit his wealth is regularly a mixed blessing. The plot of each story follows its predecessor, sometimes directly, and occasionally refer back to past events in Bleke's meteoric career. The writing style is crisp and droll, and shows much of the skill and polish of the later Wodehouse. The disasters that befall the hapless Bleke are entertainingly recounted and his unforeseen rescues surprise and delight. In the character of the butler, Mr Teal, we meet an early draft of the ingenious Jeeves. The stories first appeared in the United Kingdom in The Strand in 1914, and in the United States in Pictorial Review in 1916. They were later published in book form in the UK by Porpoise Books in 1991; the collection was released on Project Gutenberg in 2003. (Summary by Wikipedia adapted by Tim Bulkeley)

    Sixteen stories. Sixteen body parts. One writer murdered to get them. 
    Rain Corbyn's Body of Work collects Corbyn's eight best stories already in print with eight never-before-read nasties, all organized by anatomy. 
    Brad will go insane unless his body is completely hair-free. Prince Alastair looks for his Cinderella, but he carries her foot skin instead of a slipper. Poppy will stop at nothing to become the number one pimple popping social media star. A weight loss cult holds darker secrets than its abusive leader. And it gets worse. 
    These tales are framed by a shocking meta-narrative about online identity, parasocial relationships, and remorseless deception. What Jaws did for beaches, Body of Work will do for your DMs. 
    For fans of gross-out body horror, bad queer representation, extreme horror, splatterpunk, and ecological Sci-fi. A collection in the transgressive, respectability-eschewing traditions of Clive Barker, William S. Burroughs, Eric LaRocca, Gretchen Felker-Martin, and Joe Koch.
