101 short stories, all 101 words in length. Romance collides head-on with the comic and surreal in this collection from Dan Rhodes.
With incredible economy each story holds up a cracked mirror to the private peculiarities of human relationships. The woman who uses cider for make-up remover; the lover whose field-work with Mongolian gays inspires her to sprout a handlebar moustache; the caring mother who binds her baby's feet under the misapprehension that he's a girl.
Comic monologue meets the discipline of the sonnet writer, filtered by an imagination to rival Lewis Carroll.
