Praise for Three Decades of Stories: A unique collection of Patrick Gale's dark, moving, often witty and eccentric stories combined in one volume
-
Sly, cool and mischievous - GuardianThe short story form suits Gale's ability to zoom in on the smallest nuances of a relationship - The TimesNattily subversive, sexually ambiguous, intelligent and disturbing. The prose sizzles with acidic observation - Sunday TimesDark, witty and often obliquely moving, these are tales of difficult fathers and gay sons, of lonely wives and random or deliberate acts of violence ... Gale is interested in power and the lack of it and his stories pull the reader in unexpected ways, offering worlds that are far from certain and where love or its absence can never be predicted - Sunday Telegraph
