Product Description

Review

A series of stories charting London's psychogeographical hinterlands, Everyday marks an exciting debut. Glibly humourous and with a big, blackened heart beating throughout, Rourke - a leading light of 'The Off-Beat Generation' writers currently making the leap from web to print - delivers a stunning collection charting the tormented lives of everyday misanthropes - and the grubby blank-eyed pigeons that dwell in the gutter alongside them. --Shortlist Magazine

Sick, depraved and utterly mad, with no redeeming features whatsoever. I loved it. Stewart Home --Stewart Home

Everyday is a guide book of sorts: a dark, twisted, hysterical and macabre map of the twilight city which lurks underneath our nation s capital. This magnificent collection is living proof that the short story is alive and well and living in London. Tony O Neill, author of Digging The Vein, Seizure Wet Dreams, and Songs From the Shooting Gallery --Tony O'Neill


Product Description

Everyday takes the reader for a dawdle into the moribund heart of London. This extraordinary collection of stories featuring pigeons, putrefying exotic dancers, lost loves, boredom, cliché, lacklustre dérives, banality, sexual violence, the male gaze, a murderous acquisition of a tortuously blank book, and the sad demise of the number 38 bus reinvents reality, that is at once sordid, hilarious and tender.

5.0 out of 5 stars cat-like grace, 8 April 2008
Rourke manages to infuse Beckettian treadmill-like bleakness, repetition and humour into an anonymous London milieu of pigeons, photocopying machines, bus journeys and canals. A striking debut.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great stuff, 8 April 2008
An encouraging first collection of bleached and bleak urban tales. Looking forward to the next one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great read, 13 Jul 2008
This is an interesting debut that deals with the questions fiction throws our way and, more importantly, the reasons why it is written in the first place. `Everyday' is writing about writing: its difficulties and transparencies, the everyday repetitions it mimics, the voices we hear. And, rather refreshingly, it is a pared down collection of modern happenings and incidences that is remarkably fluid and easy to read.
