A new collection of short stories and essays from the pen of John Pearse, demonstrating yet again the sure touch of a master storyteller. Seldom, if ever, has a British writer so perfectly captured the subtle nuances of small-town American life as he does in such tales as the chilling BAD,BAD and the title story, CAROUSEL. Linking the stories, in subtle counterpoint, are a number of the essays that Pearse fans have come to call the "Linda stories." Often hilarious, occasionally deeply moving, they chronicle some of the rocky shoals encountered when one enters into a new relationship later in life. All in all, a sumptuous feast for anyone who appreciates good writng...and enjoys a good read!

Humorist, film-maker,luthier, musician, music-string-maker, and author of many dozens of 'how-to' books on subjects ranging from instrument construction to wine cookery, John Pearse has acquired a strong fan following here in the United States for the quirky short fiction that began to appear in various magazines in the early nineties. Nowadays he divides his time between his home in Pennsylvania, where he oversees the design and manufacture of John Pearse Music Strings, and his beloved South of France...where he does as little as possible.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
