Synopsis

This collection brings together new and uncollected stories and selections from E.A. Markhams two previous collections, Something Unusual (1984) and Ten Stories (1992). Each of the stories has its own crafted completeness, whether in the observant humour of ""The Pig Was Mine"", the bleakness of ""Skeletons"", the audacious mythologizing of ""A Short History of St. Cesaire"", or the absurdist magical realism of ""Digging."" They confirm him as one of the most original users of the short story form in both British and Caribbean fiction.
