Blood Paperback / softback
by Janice Galloway
Paperback / softback
Description
'BLOOD is a virtuoso work: the writing sinewy and beautiful. . . the integrity of vision coruscating; the whole driven by the author's restless experimentation with form. And at least two stories, 'Blood' itself and 'Fearless', will certainly end up in anthologies: not Best Scottish Writers, or Best Women Writers, but quite simply, Best' New Statesman and Society. 'I remember reading a story by Janice Galloway for the first time; its urgency of voice, that certainty of expression, I wondered why I hadn't heard of her before; then discovered that she was altogether new to writing.
It was some debut. She really is a fine writer' James Kelman'Blood is a virtuoso work: the writing sinewy and beautiful...the integrity of vision coruscating; the whole driven by the author's restless experimentation with form. And at least two stories, 'Blood' itself and 'Fearless', will certainly end up in anthologies: not Best Scottish Writers, or Best Women Writers, but, quite simply, best' New Statesman'A salutary collection...A marvellous revelation.
A writer of passion and virtuosity shines through' Scotland on Sunday'Genuinely unnerving...she is a fierce, troubling new writer' Observer'Galloway flecks her hard-edged realism with impressionist grace-notes, a potent mixture that confirms her...as one of Scotland's best young writers' Sunday Telegraph'There is ample proof in Blood of Galloway's unassailable talent.
Marvellously funny and beautifully paced' Glasgow Herald
