Summary:
This collection of the best of Iain Smith's short fiction brings together not one but many voices, both public and private. Ranging from inner promptings towards self discovery, through the unconscious comedy of everyday speech, to the rantings of near madness, these stories display the peaks of Smith's wry, surrealistic humor, and his confessional mode in retelling the past.
