Product Description
Product Description
A macho struggle for supremacy over a barbecue; a young boy's daydream carved on a wall; a snatched moment of passion in a cramped tunnel deep underground; two obsessive genealogists united by a century-old tragedy; and one man's bizarre newspaper-buying habits.
These unforgettable moments chronicle the lives of a diverse range of characters, played out against a backdrop of over 150 years of British industrial history. The author explores the effects--both protective and oppressive--of industrial communities on those who live at the heart of them. His lucid prose vividly depicts the humanity of the individual struggling to gain a footing in this world of mass-identity, and the devastating consequences of the industrial decay of the late Twentieth Century on those whose lives have been built around it.
This finely crafted short story collection introduces a fresh and youthful new voice in fiction.
About the Author
Richard Brock was born in 1981 and grew up in a small village near Barnsley, where his family still lives. At present he divides his time between the family home and Leeds, where, when he is not dreaming of winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, he is studying for a degree in English and Linguistics.
