Beschreibung

Michel Faber's first collection of short stories reveals an extraordinarily vivid imagination, a deep love of language and an adventurous versatility. Playful yet profoundly moving, wickedly satirical yet sincerely humane, these tales never fail to strike unexpected chords. The title story, "e;Some Rain Must Fall"e; (winner of the 1998 Ian St. James Award), juxtaposes the tragic circumstances of traumatized schoolchildren with the interior monologue of a teacher/psychologist enlisted to aid their recovery. In the pseudo-sci-fi "e;Fish"e; (winner of the Macallan/Scotland on Sunday Short Story Competition in 1996), a mother tries to protect her child in a terrifying world where fish swim through the streets and lurk in alleyways. Faber has an exciting talent, rich and assured, with a dazzling reach. Some Rain Must Fall is an exceptionally refreshing and engaging debut.
