The Sweet-Shop Owner by Graham Swift

The Sweet-Shop Owner by Graham Swift

The Sweet-Shop Owner is set during a single June day in the life of an outwardly unremarkable man whose inner world proves to be exceptionally resonant. As he tends to his customers, Willy Chapman, the sweet-shop owner, confronts the specters of his beautiful and distant wife and his clever, angry daughter, the history through which he has passed, and the great, unrequited passion that has tormented him for forty years.

Swift, author of the bestselling MOTIVATION series (parts 1–3), has had his work highlighted on a variety of websites and in stories ranging from MilwaukeeBlackInfo.com to UrbanReviewsonline.com. He began freelancing work for journals such as Code 414, a quarterly publication in his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, because he was not satisfied with exclusively non-fiction writing. Swift is best recognized for his streetwise literary style, in which he tells stories that depict life in an inner-city urban setting. His passion for psychology, along with a thorough understanding of street life, provides for an superb portrayal of the life and its characters.
