From the Back Cover:

'His storytelling powers are so immense, so natural...He has more creative confidence than any living writer' Financial Times

This classic collection explores the varieties of wisdom gained with ages and especially those that teach us how to love, as 'in love the young are just beginners and the art of loving matures with age and experience'. Tales of curious marriages and divorce mingle with psychic experiences and curses, acts of bravery and loneliness, love and hatred.

'Whatever region his writing inhabits, it is blazing with life and actuality' Ted Hughes, New York Review of Books
