Everyday [Paperback]

Lee Rourke (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 10, 2007

Everyday takes the reader for a dawdle into the moribund heart of London. This extraordinary collection of stories - featuring pigeons, putrefying exotic dancers, lost loves, boredom, cliché, lacklustre dérives, banality, sexual violence, the male gaze, a murderous acquisition of a tortuously blank book, and the sad demise of the number 38 bus - reinvents reality, that is at once sordid, hilarious and tender.

I read Rourke's 2nd book The Canal first. Everyday was an amazing book and while reading it I couldn't help but see where the author was incubating his ideas for the 2nd book. Rourke's writing style is unique and extra-ordinary to say the least. And please do yourself a favor and read The Canal. You get a better idea of the full breathe of this author's formation of a story in The Canal.
