Going Down Slow
Going Down Slow is an intense and very funny novel about one man’s attempt to maintain his sanity, and his sense of humour, in the face of mounting odds. Metcalf’s young hero David Appleby, a young school teacher just over from Britain, is pitted against small-mindedness, prejudice, and temptations that are generations old. Sharp and biting satire.
Vital Signs: The Collected Novellas
Vital Signs brings together the collected novellas by a modern master of the form, by a writer who Alice Munro has said "often comes as close to the baffling comedy of human experience as a writer can get." Elegant, wry, compassionate and mischievous, Vital Signs will pierce both funny bone and heart.
