[EAN: 9781600474897], [PU: Wasteland Press], Brand NEW unread book. Soft cover bound book. We ship using Royal Mail or courier in the UK and Europe with tracking number for heavier or more valuable items. All USA orders have a parcel tracking number.Here is a short story collection consisting of five meditations on the emotional and psychological intoxications of loneliness and loss, memory and dream, reality and illusion. These are not formulaic, plot driven tales, yet each story has finely-woven strands of action and plot. The focus is on character, atmosphere, mood. The stories resemble cinematic tone poems, both epic and intimate, and all are linked together by recurring themes, motifs, shifting tonalities. "Quinlan's Drift" is a futuristic tale about a reluctant soldier's escape from a military stockade and his desperate quest for freedom. "The Hissing of Summer Lawns" is an impressionistic tale about small town sin, corruption and moral rot. "Mirror Image" is a phantasmagoria about a man languishing in sorrow and slipping into madness. "Falling in Japanese Gardens" examines a tormented WWII veteran's hallucinatory visions and accursed memories of the past. "Blues for Pablo" is a seriocomic tale about a man consumed by shame and guilt over the abandonment of a childhood friend.<
