Pete Langman

Opis

A collection of short stories from the dark side, Black Box deals with sex, death, impotence, storytelling and the legend of Robert Johnson. The final piece, 'a short, dark season', uses survivor narratives to draw a vivid picture of the brutal realities of the 1942 refugee crisis in Burma, when thousands died fleeing the advancing Japanese. On Black Box: 'Langman is a fine writer. Dark yet witty, both light and profound. I found myself frequently both amused and disturbed. It's a rare gift.' Anthony McGowan, award-winning author 'Pete Langman's stories invite you into a cold, unsettling world in which ugly things happen. His writing however is clean and perceptive; you are transported into strange minds and settings and you leave feeling like you know a bit more about the human condition.' Araminta Hall, author
