'Big Mouth' is a collection of eleven striking and superbly crafted short fictions, peopled by characters recognisable for their honesty and humanity, speaking truths honed by a remarkable storyteller:
He was never much of a one for talking, but since the "incident" Jim has clammed up all together. As his wife floats on her back in a swimming pool, dreaming of ancient waters and past love, she sees that there is only one way out of the prison of silence: a journey along London's forgotten rivers . . .
A Belfast exile, he's a linguist, driving taxis for a living wherever he can. His biggest success was in silence, his biggest betrayal made of words. He may be half way across the world, but those words have travelled to find him out.
