Rezension zu „Midsummer Nights “
Lynne Truss's chilling little version of The Turn of the Screw is funny and pointed ... Kate Atkinson, who has the quasi-musical ability to write narrative voices in counterpoint, gives us a witty and touching duet between celebrity culture and La Traviata ... Atkinson brilliantly combines sentimental appeal and a deadpan tone ... Toby Litt's The Ghost raises the hairs on the back of your neck ... a varied and enjoyable collection' Times Literary Supplement. The strongest and wittiest anthology of short fiction to appear for years: a superior selection box of irresistible delights' The Tablet.
