Worlds from the Word`s End

The much-anticipated fiction follow-up to Vertigo, this collection cements Joanna Walsh`s reputation as one of the sharpest writers of this century. Wearing her learning lightly, Walsh`s stories make us see the world afresh while showing us she has read the world. In `Like a Fish Needs a …` – perhaps the funniest, most freewheeling story ever written about cycling (and Freud and and and …) you read shenanigans worthy of Flann O`Brien. Meanwhile, in `Worlds from the Word`s End`, Walsh conjures up a country in which words themselves fall out of fashion – something that will never happen wherever Walsh is read.
