Showing the Flag by Jane Gardam
The flag that is shown, literally and metaphorically, by these characters is always the Union Jack. Gardam's stories are acutely observed social commentaries on Englishness, its weaknesses and its illusions.
'Bitingly and immediately enjoyable and exquisitely written' GUARDIAN 'Gardam's stories are both acutely observed social commentaries and voyages into the absurd.' TLS 'It is perfect; one cannot imagine how any master of short stories- Chekhov, Katherine Mansfield, V.S Pritchett- could have better realised its theme... All these stories show the same accomplishment and readability.' SPECTATOR
