After Bathing At Baxter's by Dj Taylor

Dorfman likes watching the planes take off towards a wider world than his - and is afraid of flying. Fuchs dream of going to England to escape from pornography - and never does. A boy is introduced to the world of art - and is repulsed by the bohemian life. When Elvis dies his stand-in not only loses his job but also his RAISON D'ETRE. AFTER BATHING AT BAXTER'S is a wonderful and sharply written collection of short stories about dreams of leaving, about the hopes of escaping mediocrity and the tedium of living in the middle of nowhere. Wryly funny, often touching, they prove D. J. Taylor a master of the short story.
