WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO SURVIVE OUR TIME - A L KEN...

'Kennedy is a superb writer and the canniness of her observation keeps you reading' Sunday
Times Humour  fantasy  rage and despair both help and hinder the protagonists of these stories
as they navigate changing circumstances  accumulating losses  moments of comprehension and
tenderness. Here is the woman  hoping for a quiet day at the zoo  who finally snaps at a white
man's racist tirade and vents years of fury  the micro-celebrity who practises lines for a chat
show on which he'll never appear  and the woman who walks out of her honeymoon suite at
midnight  perhaps for good. Unsparing in her close examination of human relationships  A. L.
Kennedy proves once again why she is regarded as one of our great storytellers. 'Kennedy
dissects the small intimacies of inner thoughts... Her prose is typically direct  her sentences
clear-cut and yet capable of great tenderness' Observer 'An author with a proven ability to see
- truly see - and whose prose can fire like gunshots across the page' New Statesman
