Collected Stories


Comprising stories from her debut collection, Blood, and the critically acclaimed Where You Find It, this collection presents some of the best known works by one of Scotland’s “most gifted and original writers” (Times Literary Supplement).Each sharply observed, savagely accurate and brilliantly realized, the stories offer revelatory glimpses into everyday lives — from an unwelcome act of kindness at a bus stop, an evening walk across a London bridge, a welcome but uncomfortable summer break, to a brutal lesson in trust. Here also are unflinching portrayals of relationships: the struggle to love against the odds, the overpowering yearning to communicate, and the extraordinary epiphanies where the world falls away leaving only the lovers.These are painstakingly crafted stories: engaging, funny and terrifyingly true, from a master of the form.

Kde ji najdeš


Výbor 23 z knih Krev (Blood) a Kde ji najdeš (Where You Find It). Ve svých povídkách, zasazených do skotského prostředí, autorka zkoumá vztahy mezi mužem a ženou: zoufalou snahu milovat navzdory všemu, touhu po porozumění, okamžiky, kdy pouhé slovo či dotek má moc hojit i zraňovat, kdy se znenadání odhalí emocionální zbabělost i odvaha, vztahy závislosti, mocenské hry, násilí, které páchají muži na ženách, i způsob, jakým si ženy udržují muže v područí. Pro některé její prózy je charakteristické experimentální dělení textu, které umocňuje intenzitu výpovědi.
