Ox-Tales:Fire Summary

Ox-Tales:Fire by Geoff Dyer

Ox-Tales is a set of four compelling and collectible books, each themed on one of the elements. 'Fire' features stories by Mark Haddon, Geoff Dyer, Victoria Hislop, Sebastian Faulks, John le Carre, Xiaoulu Guo, William Sutcliffe, Ali Smith, Lionel Shriver and Jeanette Winterson, and a poem by Vikram Seth. The idea behind Ox-Tales is to raise money for Oxfam and along the way to highlight the charity's work in project areas: agriculture in Earth, water projects in Water, conflict aid in Fire, and climate change in Air. The four books will play a central role in the first ever Oxfam Bookfest, a new annual event launching in July 2009. Created in partnership with Hay Festival, the program includes more than 300 events across the UK.

Ox-Tales:Fire Reviews

A fabulous insight into the literary landscape today * Aesthetica *
An admirable and ingenious idea... There are many gems... This collection disproves claims that the short story is on its last legs. It is also a rare treat to be able to read literature that literally improves the world -- Sebastian Shakespeare * Tatler *
Fight poverty from the comfort of your own sofa by reading one of Oxfam's series of Ox-Tales * Psychologies *
The perfect travelling companion * Image *
Wonderful short stories by 38 of the best writers around -- Paul Blezard * The Lady *
Each book offers a feast of thought-provoking material, from the piquant to the poignant * Irish Tatler *
Classy... A great opportunity to sample a wide range of takes on this underrated form... At their best - Ali Smith, Alexander McCall Smith, Sebastian Faulks - short stories open disproportionately wide imaginative vistas * Daily Telegraph *
These excellent collections include stories by some of Britain's best-loved writers... One of the joys of collections like these is that you're bound to come across something new... You really should buy them all * Financial Times *
Heaven on earth for any literary aficionado * Ulster Tatler *
A fabulous way to swot up on well-known authors, as well as discovering a few names you might not be so familiar with * Daily Mail *
Ox-Tales is an intriguing snapshot of contemporary British fiction at an affordable price. * The Age - Australia *
A bona fide feel-good purchase * Sun Herald, Australia *
