Book description
Funny, moving, insightful, these stories are, above all, delightfully
different. A well-known poet pursues his elusive muse; a Kiwi makes
himself indispensable in OZ; a revolutionary fast-food franchise revs up
Russia's economy; a racing-car driver is airborne; a Frenchman called
Foucault puts in the hard yards at an antipodean dairy farm - all while
water laps at our feet, our homes, our lives . . . With Tim Jones'
stories you should expect the unexpected. This remarkably refreshing
collection uses a lively mix of genres, taking readers on flights of
fancy, transports of delight and even occasional trips of nostalgia.
Some of the stories are unique ways of looking at the everyday and
ordinary, others take us out of this world. Tim Jones has published
two volumes of poetry, a novel and several volumes of short stories. He
is a writer, editor, web content manager, husband, father, political
activist, and lover of cricket, music and many other fine things.
