Format:Paperback
Patricia Duncker made a big splash with HALLUCINATING FOUCAULT - a superb first novel and these short stories are well up to scratch, and I speak as a novel reader who usually can't be bothered with short stories. 'The storm' is an extraordinary tour-de-force of poltical critique and the quality of her writing never fails. I read this book through in 24 hours.really very good.

I absolutely love Duncker's novels, but I'm afraid I wasn't really grabbed by these short stories or the novella contained in the collection. They're certainly well-written with a wonderful hint of sinister mystery throughout, but I didn't warm to the characters as such. That said, the short stories are edgier and sharper than the novella, which I have to admit to skipping through, though it does have a very good & punchy end.
Still looking forward to the next novel!

Another winner from Ms Duncker
23 April 2000
Format:Hardcover
This book of short stories is wonderfully written, most enjoyable and more accessable than the previous Hallucinating Foucault. An extra bonus is that one of the most delightful stories has been expanded into her next novel, The Doctor. A very promising author.
