Tell No-One About This by Jacob Ross
This collection confirms Jacob Ross as one of the very best short story writers in the Caribbean and the UK. The stories display characters caught at specific moments of realization or self-discovery, an engaging narrative drive, meticulous construction, an exactness of image and a rigorous economy of style. These stories are shaped by a powerful and persuasive moral compass that is never neat or moralistic. There is, in particular, an inwardness with the lives of woman, what they suffer at the tongues or hands of men, their ingenuity in fighting back, and insightful speculation on what in the male psyche is so problematic.
Jacob Ross has been hailed as 'a writer of formidable technical range and emotional depth'. He is Associate Fiction Editor at Peepal Tree Press. Jacob Ross is a novelist, short story wiriter, editor and creative writing tutor. His novel Pynter Bender was published to much critical literary acclaim and was shortlisted for the 2009 Commonwealth Writers Regional Prize and chosen as one of the British Authors Club's top three Best First Novels. Jacob is also the author of two short story collections, Song for Simone and A Way to Catch the Dust, and the editor of Closure, Contemporary Black British short stories. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and has been a judge of the V.S. Pritchett Memorial Prize, the Olive Cook, Scott Moncrieff and Tom-Gallon Literary Awards. Jacob Ross's latest book, The Bone Readers, marks a new departure into crime fiction, and is the first in his Camaho Quartet.
