John Banville

Opis

A collection of short stories from the early years of Man Booker Prize-winning author John Banville s career, Long Lankin explores the passionate emotions fear, jealousy, desire that course beneath the surface of everyday life. From a couple at risk of being torn apart by the allure of wealth to an old man s descent into nature, the tales in this collection showcase the talents that launched Banville onto the literary scene. Offering a unique insight into the mind of one of the great living masters of English-language prose (Los Angeles Times), these nine haunting sketches stand alone as canny observations on the turbulence of the human condition."
