Alligator playground : a collection of short stories
Sillitoe, Alan, 1928-20101998
Books, Manuscripts
From one of Englands greatest living writers comes a new collection of exquisitely formed stories set in lifes great playground. Relationships clandestine and legitimate are the theme: boorish chaps and their stalwart women ululate and hum; marriages and infidelities tick-tock and tick over; Fitzrovian passion flares; strong men turn to drink. Love, sex, loss, are captured in Mr Sillitoes inimitable style. As well as the general theme of the union of the sexes, we have inspired insights into birth, boyhood, bereavement and aloneness in a collection of perfectly narrated observations, in which the reader participates in each extraordinary experience.
