Dont Tell Me the Truth About Love by Dan Rhodes
Erotic, passionate, tragic or doomed, love is above all a game of allusiveness and nuance, of fabulous grotesques and intimate loathings. In this collection, Dan Rhodes takes fables and spins them into suburban romances, twists domestic cosiness into mythical combat.‘Funny and unsettling…Fairy stories written with an elegant simplicity’ Daily Telegraph
‘You won’t find a finer collection of short stories in the land.’ Jockey Slut
‘It is brave of Rhodes to buck the trend for realism…the beauty of his writing is persuasive and his themes are universal.’ The Times
Praise for ‘Anthropology’:
‘They should prescribe this free on the NHS – it’s an absolute gem.’ Jenny Colgan
‘A hilarious exploration of the challenges faced by the fairer sex.’ The Times
Dan Rhodes is twenty-eight and this is his second book. It follows his previous collection of short stories – Anthropology – two of which were selected by Tibor Fisher for the Vintage collection New Writing (March 1999). His first novel will come next.
