UNREDACTED EXPLETIVES
Short stories arrive with us in all shapes and sizes. A bereaved family riven by internal friction. A beleaguered policeman with a rejuvenated wife. A burnt-out doctor, counting the minutes. Cameos from life in a small Welsh town. Diversions to other crises around the world.
In his first foray into fiction, Christopher C James’s incendiary and acerbically witty collection of short stories is a perfectly observed study of the malaise of modern day life.
