Jigs And Reels

Product Description

Take your partners, please. Suburban witches, defiant old ladies, ageing monsters, suicidal Lottery winners, wolf men, dolphin women & middle-aged manufacturers of erotic leatherwear: in these twenty-two short stories from the author of " Holy Fools" & " Five Quarters of the Orange", the miraculous goes h&-in-hand with the mundane, the sour with the sweet, & the beautiful, the grotesque, the seductive & the disturbing are never more than one step away. " Jigs & Reels" is Joanne Harris' first collection of short stories. As she says in her foreword, a good short story can startle, ignite, & illuminate...giving you vivid, anarchic glimpses into different worlds, different people. Here, she proves she is as good as her word by creating an eclectic selection of tales for our times that will delight, surprise, entertain & horrify in equal measure. Sly, funny, sometimes provocative but always personal, Jigs & Reels shows a side to Joanne Harris you have never seen before. So go on, be tempted. After all, it's only dancing.
