“Expertly told, without a false note.” - Australian Book Review
This is a wonderfully varied box set collection of six of John Clanchy's most recent books of long stories. With humour and compassion, insight and generosity, Clanchy draws you deep within the world of his characters, from the emotional tragedy of a terrorist attack, to the ridiculous, laugh-out-loud antics of a gentleman with man-flu.
“These are the sorts of situations you read or hear about and wonder how the people at the centre of them cope. Clanchy explores just this, with sensitivity and authenticity, teasing out the underlying humanity of his characters ... we empathise and are encouraged to see the extent of human capacity to accommodate the unexpected.” - Whispering Gums
“What an author Clanchy is ... His work has won major awards in Europe, the US, New Zealand and Australia, including the Queensland Premier’s Award for short fiction and, on two occasions, the ACT Book of the Year. Clanchy is widely acknowledged as a master of the short literary form.” - The Sydney Morning Herald
“I encourage people to invest in a copy ... and be entertained by an accomplished Australian author.” - A&NZ LitLovers
