Standing on Richards
General fiction, Short stories
Human-narrated audio
Summary
A collection of fifteen short stories pushing the limits of storytelling and testing the boundaries of fiction. In "Standing on Richards," a man stands on a street corner beside women who are selling their bodies, attempting to seduce people so… that he can sell his mind. In "Old Bottles," a woman thinks her neighbour is crazy because he replaces a hedge with a fence of old bottles. In a story entitled only "A Short Story," the writer challenges the conventions of storytelling, asking questions to the reader directly. Some descriptions of sex and violence, and some strong language. 2004.
