Carver and Tricks
Interesting Guardian books blog article by Stuart Evers on Carver and Lish, and the matter of experimentation/innovation in short stories. As usual, the comments illustrate the wide variety of responses readers can have to a single author...
'An analytical, and sometimes funny, take on the world of fiction reading, writing and publishing' - The Cerebral Mum 'Other than the fact that the lady writes well, with insight, empathy and personality, that she speaks her mind and shies not from confrontation when such is necessary and constructive ... there is really no reason for me to visit her blog' - Alan Kellogg
Writer of prose fiction and plays for radio and stage. My short novels Too Many Magpies and the Birth Machine and my collection of short stories, Balancing on the Edge of the World, are published by Salt.
A novella 'Terrific... There's a definite air of menace... It’s very clever indeed and finally, very moving too' - Adele Geras. More reviews on my website.
Short stories 'Quite swept me off my feet... Nothing would have induced me to interrupt Balancing on the Edge of the World by Elizabeth Baines until I'd read them all' - Dovegreyreader
