Product Description

Book Description
In Maurice Suckling’s debut collection slices of life react and interact against a consumerist background where expectations of what we are and where we should be going are frequently in conflict with reality. Combining traditional storytelling, vignettes, emails, text messages, and a cartoon, Suckling reinvents the short form for a society that has replaced its gods with technology, yet still prefers the permanency of love over a quick cyber fix.

"A collection of succinctly observed events, characters and phenomena which takes a fresh look at the world and our collisions with it. The style is spare, unexpected and funny, the reader calmly presented with astonishing quirks of fate, the profundity of common physics and disturbing visions of everyday objects possessed by powers unknown." – Dirk Maggs (director of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Radio Series)

"A book of stories and visions filled with masterly touches, light and dark, funny and disturbing, classic and avant-garde. And it even comes with experiments which one could so easily imagine a Vonnegut character urging us to attempt (at one’s own risk I must advise!). Bravo!" – Matthew Costello, best-selling author of Missing Monday and Unidentified.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, quirky and thoughtful!, 8 May 2007
By Dougal Three (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
Have to say I wasn't sure what to expect from such an eclectic sounding book, but I wasn't disappointed. Maurice Suckling's collection of short stories (which occasionally saunter up as cartoons, text messages or e-mails) are sometimes surreal, often funny and always thought provoking reflections on what it means to be alive in the 21st Century. He populates them with characters I'm glad I got the chance to meet, if that makes sense! Particularly loved "A New Kitchen Is A Way To A New Life".
