The world of an operatic tenor violently collides with that of a homeless couple on the streets of New York. A tactical heart-to-heart tells of a ghostly experience and the damaging love of a poet. A young immigrant scores a small but significant victory over his resentful supervisor. A father mourns the death of his gay son, murdered at the hands of the state. Hypnotic, spell-binding prose which explores the falseness of boundaries and the madness of love in mythic, urban contemporary settings. Brave both in its subject matter and linguistic choices, the first short story collection from Frank McGuinness showcases the work of a master storyteller.
