Beschreibung

"Poised between melancholy and yearning, this wry, moving, and beautifully crafted collection of stories is a rich and multilayered meditation on aloneness in all its complex shades and metamorphoses." – Tristan Hughes
"A powerful and poetic new voice in the art of storytelling." – Selçuk Altun
From Özgür Uyanık, novelist and film director, comes a debut collection of audacious, darkly wry and compassionate short stories. Driven by universal themes of desire, mortality, loss and yearning, each story evokes both the melancholy and the hope inherent in all stages of life, from childhood through to maturity.
Artists, writers, lovers, killers: all types of men walk these pages, along the streets of Cardiff, İstanbul, London, Paris, Odesa and Lisbon. All seeking to find a way to belong in the world.
Men Alone is a meditative vision from a unique voice that explores the many – often confounding – permutations of modern masculinity.

    JUNGLE SONG, Nampay the Amazonian, is the tale of a young native who has ‘chanced’ across a guitar floating down a river and into his hands. Nampay teaches himself how to play while in the wilds of the Amazon jungle. Nampay’s story is told through friends and acquaintances who met him while he was on the road. Nampay’s tour is a legend among the roadies, blues-men and women, groupies, and many others in the western world. Nampay’s innocence guides him through the tours as much as his natural aptitude for music and his peaceful personality.

    Little Matsue and Other Tales encompasses a magnificent thread of entangled journeys of acceptance and resignation, but also longing, and resolution. The uniqueness of each story comes from Larry Boyd’s intricate and vivid storytelling, which allows the reader to effortlessly step into the point of view of the characters and connect to their most nuanced emotions. From the graphic, imaginative way a little girl interprets the world around her, to the surprisingly relatable dynamics displayed by a family of fish, Little Matsue and Other Tales brings about the perfect blend between realistic and fictional narratives.  
    ‘Boyd boldly dances through that liminal space between child and adult until your eyes leak and your body aches. Fiercely imaginative, Little Matsue, will have you whizzing through kingdoms and time, writhing with rage, seduced by new love and building with dinosaur bones. You will laugh at the Oceanic Olympics as much as you will mourn for the strong woman you’ve just met lying in the grave. This book is insightful, a little mad and deeply enjoyable.’ Kate Liston-Mills, Dear Ibis  
    ‘A gifted storyteller with a wry, original view, Larry Boyd is equally at ease in the worlds of 12th century China or the hip-hop community. His wonderfully diverse stories are full of sly humour and unexpected twists. There’s the tragedy of a daughter of a Polish migrant navigating Australian Christmas at its ugliest, the misadventure of a servant in feudal Japan and even an ironic take on fishy tales. Boyd gets inside his characters; a child fantasising to escape feuding parents, a father struggling with his role as his baby son’s primary carer, a teenage music student inspired by his first sexual experience. This is story telling at its traditional best.’

    100 ONE SENTENCE STORIES: STORIES OF EVERYDAY LIFE, INSIGNIFICANT YET BEAUTIFUL, CAN BE JUST AS POWERFUL AS THE EPIC TALES
    
    Short stories offer a concentrated dose of quality literary experience. They provide quick, accessible insights into the lives of other people, whether they're fictional or real. They can also be read quickly and easily, which is why they're especially popular among busy people who want to get in as much reading as possible without sacrificing quality.
    
    In addition to being great for getting more information in less time (and thus fitting into our fast-paced lives), short stories can also get into someone's head in ways that longer works can't—a fact borne out by the many instances where writers have published collections of their own fictional works over time. In effect, these writers have created their own little universes through which we can walk and explore.
    
    And that is exactly what we offer here.

    "I could debate that with you," said Blake. 
    "Where is the ghost?" Blake said changing the subject. 
    "Now I have a ghost and a grim reaper in my lounge room!" said Lance infuriated. 
    "Grand Reaper? What's that?" the ghost asked. 
    "Another name for a couch potato!" Lance hissed, 
    "Dork why you shouting," said Junior walking in the room. 
    "Oh, he's no bother, he has good taste! Anyone who likes Neighbours is alright with me" Blake said. 
    "You sure this isn't The Munsters!" Blake asked. 
    "I want to watch this!" said the ghost standing up. 
    "Quit it stop using the voice let him watch this!" Blake said. 
    "He is a ghost he shouldn't be watching soapies!" said Lance. 
    "Dork!” snapped Junior in protest.
