The Shielding of Mrs Forbes: Faber Stories

Brand: Faber & Faber   |   Status: Còn hàng
150.000₫

'No-one is better than Alan Bennett at illustrating the idea that there is no such as an ordinary person, but rather an infinite variety of extraordinary ones. What is more he does this in such a level, matter of fact tone of voice as to first draw you into, and then have you accept as routine, a gallery of grotesques which illustrate another of his themes. This is, as Thoreau said, that "the majority of men live lives of quiet desperation". Mr Bennett is a master of the telling and richly detailed miniature, that sheds light on everyday life more clearly than most full length novels.' - Amazon Reviewer

Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles.

Thinking Betty was in the bath Graham was watching a late-night programme on Channel 4 called Footballers with Their Shirts Off when she unexpectedly came in on the trail of the hairdryer.

'I didn't know you were interested in football,' said Betty.


No one must ever find out that Graham is 'not the marrying sort'. Certainly not his wife, or his mother. As sex, blackmail and fanatical tidiness take over the West Yorkshire parish of Alwoodley, an unlikely caper unfolds.

Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.
