Requirements: Epub Reader, 318KB | Retail
Overview: ‘[Gerald Kersh] is a story-teller of an almost vanished kind – though the proper description is perhaps a teller of ‘rattling good yarns’… He is fascinated by the grotesque and the bizarre, by the misfits of life, the angry, the down-and-outs and the damned. A girl of eight commits a murder. Some circus freaks are shipwrecked on an island. A chess champion walks in his sleep and destroys the games he has so carefully planned…’ TLS.
‘Beneath his talented lightness and fantasy, Gerald Kersh is a serious man… [He] has the ability… to create a world which is not realistic and which is yet entirely credible and convincing on its own fantastic terms.’ New York Times.
