La Espada De Loki by Malcolm Archibald

La Espada De Loki by Malcolm Archibald

The Lady from Guatemala is a collection of stories from one of the most distinguished short story writers in English. From first to last, V.S. Pritchett's writing displays a shrewd understanding of class and character and a quick ear for the inner, deeper rhythms of dialogue. His subject matter is always human nature, its peculiarity, its tenacity.

His prose is clear, his observation complex and multi-layered. Pritchett's stories invite and merit re-reading and, what is more important, they encourage us to look again at those parts of life we like to think are settled.

Victor Sawdon Pritchett (1900-1997) was born over a toyshop in 1900 and, much to his everlasting distaste, was named after Queen Victoria. A writer and critic, his is widely reputed to be one of the best short story writers of all time, with the rare ability to capture the extraordinary strangeness of everyday life. He died in 1997.

Malcolm Archibald has had a variety of occupations from postman to college lecturer. He is the author of Scottish Battles; Mother Law, which was a runner up at the inaugural Dundee Book Prize; Whales for the Wizard, which won the Dundee Book Prize; and The Darkest Walk, which was a winner in the People's Book Prize.
