Dust and Other Stories by Paul Rooney
Dust and Other Stories by Paul Rooney
These stories take us away from the crowd to abandoned people, places and mythologies, which are uncovered with writing that bristles with absurdity and seriousness, artifice and humour.
‘Rooney is a master of urban myth… he empathises and charms us into feeling the subjectivity of his protagonists. Who else but him could achieve such deep pathos with such down to earth subjects, methods and materials?’
Robert Clark, The Guardian

The Field by Gary O’Connor
The vast, flat featureless Fens landscape is the backdrop for the disquieting story of a man whose decision to take singing lessons brings him to question his perception of reality.
Cambridgeshire based artist and writer Gary O’Connor was born in London in 1963. O’Connor has developed a symbiotic relationship between his writing and his art practice, by incorporating text and spoken word in his artworks.
