Ranging from flash fiction to intense psychological drama, magical realism, horror and erotica, these strange, clever, frank and sometimes very funny stories have a serious side too. Carefully crafted over 15 years, they explore unbounded sexualities, a vision of the fluidity of the person, and politics - from the deaths of black people at the hands of the police, to the deep shifts that signal the subtle changes in the nature of capitalism and much more. These stories may sometimes tickle, sometimes shock; but will always engage both the intellect and the heart.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Ross] is a pointilliste, a master of detail whose world materialises in clusters of precisely placed dots of colour . . . . as lyrical as Anais Nin, but less flowery." --Maggie Gee, <i>Times Literary Supplement</i><br><br>"Chillingly real-- raw, naked in its desperation, darting to the edge of sanity and back. Ross has created a powerful story and unforgettable characters." --<i>Booklist</i><br><br>"Leone Ross has a powerful style, a taste for complex organisation and a strong imagination." --<i>World Literature Today </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Leone Ross</b> is the critically acclaimed author of the Orange Prize shortlisted novels <i>All the Blood Is Red</i> and<i> Orange Laughter</i>.
