I really enjoy these Oxfam collections of short stories, book extracts and poetry. Particularly enjoyed the Lionel Shriver piece. ( ) **** (4) stars to Vikram Seth and Mark Haddon. I liked the poem Fire by Vikram Seth so much I am learning it by heart and I loved the long short story by Mark Haddon - don't read about it - just read it with no preconceptions. I had to look up the prawn jumbalaya in Vikram seth's poem and I shall have it for tea tomorrow. My only grumble is that once again Mark Haddon's biography makes no mention of his delightful 'Agent Z' books. The others get a variety between ** (2) and *** (3). Another good set of short stories for the Oxfam collection. The Fire set are highlighting the work that they do in conflict zones. The John le Carré story is very good, as i would expect by him, and Aflame in Athens by Victoria Hislop has a good plot for such a short story. Sandcastles: A Negotiation by William Sutcliffe is chilling. I like the Sebastian Faulks story too; I must read more by him. Loads of good stories in here - ones I particularly enjoyed are: - Mark Haddon's The Island, a haunting Greek myth inspired tale of abandonment; I was surprised as I hadn't enjoyed The Curious Incident... much. This story was immersive, despite the distance from daily life. - John Le Carré's [bThe King who never spoke, a deceptively simple parable about words and peace. - Lionel Shriver's Long Time, No See; an exploration of charisma and self perception when two old college friends meet up years later. **** (4) stars to Vikram Seth and Mark Haddon.
