Product Description

Product Description

BLOOD is a virtuoso work: the writing sinewy and beautiful...the integrity of vision coruscating; the whole driven by the author's restless experimentation with form. And at least two stories, 'Blood' itself and 'Fearless', will certainly end up in anthologies: not Best Scottish Writers, or Best Women Writers, but quite simply, Best' New Statesman and Society. 'I remember reading a story by Janice Galloway for the first time; its urgency of voice, that certainty of expression, I wondered why I hadn't heard of her before; then discovered that she was altogether new to writing. It was some debut. She really is a fine writer' James Kelman. Blood is a virtuoso work: the writing sinewy and beautiful...the integrity of vision coruscating; the whole driven by the author's restless experimentation with form. And at least two stories, 'Blood' itself and 'Fearless', will certainly end up in anthologies: not Best Scottish Writers, or Best Women Writers, but, quite simply, best 'New Statesman. 'A salutary collection...A marvellous revelation. A writer of passion and virtuosity shines through' Scotland on Sunday. 'Genuinely unnerving...she is a fierce, troubling new writer' Observer. 'Galloway flecks her hard-edged realism with impressionist grace-notes, a potent mixture that confirms her...as one of Scotland's best young writers' Sunday Telegraph. 'There is ample proof in Blood of Galloway's unassailable talent. Marvellously funny and beautifully paced' Glasgow Herald

3.0 out of 5 stars Breathing is better than Bleeding, 19 April 2001
By A Customer
After reading J.galloways The trick is to keep breathing I bought another title from her collection, Blood. Although this book is by no means bad i feel its short sometimes bewildering stories remove the intense character/reader relationship than made the first book such a success. The mini stories have morals and give insight once again into the scottish culture but on the whole i would not rate this must see reading material. Breath dont bleed.
