Book description
The heroes and heroines of
Night Geometry and the Garscadden Trains
, A. L. Kennedy's first collection of stories, are small people - the
kind who inhabit the silence in libraries, who never appear on screen
and who never make the headlines. Often alone and sometimes lonely, her
characters ponder the mysteries of sex and death... and the ability of
public transport to affect our lives. The author of five previous
novels, two books of non-fiction, and five collections of short stories,
A. L. Kennedy's last novel, Day
, was the 2007 Costa Book of the Year. She has twice been selected as
one of Granta
's Best of Young British Novelists and has won a host of other awards.
She lives in Glasgow and is a part-time lecturer in creative writing at
Warwick University.
