Editorial Reviews

Review

“The stories in “Talking About It” are so tasty and taut that they have a pop–fizz dazzle all their own.” -- The Seattle Times

“This catch–all volume is clever and readable throughout.” -- Kirkus Reviews

“a brilliant short–story collection…14 feisty stories.” -- The Seattle Times --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From the Publisher

Since its U.S. launch in 2003, Hesperus Press has enjoyed a growing reputation for its inspired publishing program of short classic works. Written by illustrious authors, and often unjustly neglected or simply little known in the English-speaking world, these works have been made accessible via a completely fresh editorial approach and new translations.

In addition to the Hesperus Classics, Hesperus Press recently introduced two new series: Modern Voices, drawing from the very best of 20th-century literature, and Hesperus Contemporary, showcasing the work of leading contemporary writers. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tim Parks' shorter fiction under one cover for the first time, April 20, 2006
Not as many know the name of Tim Parks; but they should - and his shorter fiction appears here in TALKING ABOUT IT to reach newcomers and old fans alike. This gathers his shorter works under one cover for the first time and adds new stories written just for TALKING ABOUT IT: from long-time friendships and events to newfound revelations about living well, TALKING ABOUT IT offers many satisfying scenarios.
