The Separate Heart (Paperback)

Paperback. 'A piercing book of stories from a remarkable new writer' - Simon Callow, ObserverIf there is a thread running through Simon Robson's brilliant collection of stories it is the notion of separateness - of adults from each other, of children from adult knowledge, of adult consciousness from the vividness of childhood.His protagonists are often unlikely - a cat, a man, met in a bar, who drove a chariot in Ben Hur; a girl who gets up very early - but the stories are wise, funny, beautifully observed and somehow utterly true. A collection of stories with the notion of separateness - of adults from each other, of children from adult knowledge, and of adult consciousness from the vividness of childhood.
