About the Author:
'You won't find a finer collection of short love stories anywhere in the land. *****' Jockey Slut
A chance encounter prompts an aging professor to regret a lifetime of wasted opportunities; a beautiful wife tests her husband by making herself hideous; for the love of a girl, a boy turns himself into a violoncello... funny, magical and strange, in these seven short stories Dan Rhodes lays bare the pain and enchantment of love.
'Often macabre, always musical, Rhodes flirts with laugh-out-loud absurdity but stays in close contact with pathos... his arch, askew take on the heart's muddle flourishes.' Uncut
'Rhodes's stories blow through the cobwebs of a much-handled subject like fresh air.' Observer
'Extremely readable - thought-provoking as well as entertaining.' Times Literary Supplement
'The beauty of his writing is persuasive and his themes are universal.' The Times
'Is there a more innovative, but also intensely readable, writer than Dan Rhodes working in Britain today?' Big Issue
Dan Rhodes was born in 1972. He is the author of Anthropology, Timoleon Vieta Come Home and Don't Tell Me the Truth About Love, also published by Canongate. In 2003 he was named by Granta Magazine as one of their twenty Best of Young British Novelists. He lives in Edinburgh.
