Under the Dam by David Constantine
Entering Constantine's stories is like stepping out into a gale of words, a swarm of language, his prose as fluid as the water that surges and swells through his landscapes. Yet his stories are able to stop time, to freeze-frame each protagonist's life at the moment when the past breaks the surface.
A haunting collection filled with delicate clarity--A. L. Kennedy; I started reading these stories quietly, and then became obsessed... The description of the estuary is one of the best descriptions of the surface of the Earth I have ever read. --A. S. Byatt
