Aprašymas

THREE NOVELLAS by Ellis Sharp. TO WETUMPKA - He was running on empty and troubled by strange dreams. Plus maybe he'd read too much F. Scott Fitzgerald and seen too many movies. So Tollinger went looking for a new beginning. But what he encountered on an east coast beach was to change the direction of his life in a way he could never have imagined, in this tale of trauma and disintegration and of a struggle to survive disturbing events. INTOLERABLE TONGUES - In the spring of 1939, during the final phase of the great Palestinian rebellion, Dr Donald McCollum went on a motor tour of the Holy Land. His intention was to write a travel book about his pilgrimage to the places associated with the life of Jesus. This is not that book. THE DUMP - In a narrative which at times reads like a dystopian yet comic News from Nowhere retold by Samuel Beckett, we are taken inside the mind of a half-deranged inhabitant of The Dump, a vast waste tip on the edge of London, where the outcasts of our society wander amidst its filth and rubbish.
