A young couple, engaged to be married, reconsider their options in a biblical downpour. Travelling colleagues experience an eerie moment of truth when a fire starts in their hotel. A misdirected parcel sets off a complex psychodrama involving two men, a woman and a dog . . .
Andrew Fox's clever, witty, intense and thoroughly entertaining stories capture the passions and befuddlements of the young and rootless, equally dislocated at home and abroad. Set in Ireland and America - and, at times, in jets over the Atlantic - Over Our Heads showcases a brilliant new talent.
The stories are wonderfully crafted and cared-for, the undertones are witty and ironic, but also serious and filled with sympathy.' Colm Tóibín, Guardian
'Andrew Fox's stories are slivers of power; knowing, watchful and burning with intelligence.' Belinda McKeon
