Abstract

Twelve years after Paul Magrs’ first collection, these twelve stories take their cues from glimpses of real life, but spin into tales that are fabular, funny, moving and sometimes unsettling. In carefully and gradually putting these best stories together, the author realised that they are streaked through with pathos and an urgent need to rescue and preserve people and voices before they inevitably vanish. All of these pieces are about rescuing characters, places, moments and ideas from the brink of being forgotten.
