Zusammenfassung

Set in the low-rent areas of Edinburgh, this title conveys that just as circumstances can reveal the morally obscure darkness in 'good' people, so can seemingly irredeemable characters harbour well-hidden pockets of humanity.

Hope And Other Stories Zusammenfassung

Hope And Other Stories Laura Hird

PULL MY PIGTAILS. MAKE YOU CRY. FUCK OFF AND GET CANCER. I HOPE YOU DIE. Urban tales of despair and dysfunction are Laura Hird's trademark and she does not disappoint in Hope and Other Urban Tales. Set in the low-rent areas of Edinburgh, Hird's slices of reality are gritty, bleak and often darkly funny. Yet the possibility of hope, always just out of reach, unifies this collection, conveying that just as circumstances can reveal the morally obscure darkness in 'good' people, so can seemingly irredeemable characters harbour well-hidden pockets of humanity.

Hope And Other Stories Bewertungen

Bloody, believable and intoxicating. * * Herald * *
Hird controls her material brilliantly. If you like your fiction with razor blades secreted in the soup, then get this, pronto. * * Scotsman * *
Desperately readable, blackly comic and painful, a delight born of dysfunction. * * The Times * *
Laura Hird's writing, which is reminiscent of Irvine Welsh (for style) and Iain Banks (for pace), also has the tenderness of James Kelman's early work. * * Times Literary Supplement * *
One of Scotland's most talented writers. * * Daily Telegraph * *
