First and Fiftieth and other stories Martin Foreman
Martin Foreman's latest collection of short stories comprises first person narratives spanning the globe from Rio de Janeiro to Los Angeles, Africa to Nepal, London to Siberia. Men and women from teenagers to grandparents each speak in a distinctive voice and with intense emotion as love and sex, violence and humour, anger and pathos meet in this kaleidoscope of human comedy and tragedy. "The youthful yet already impressive Paradise Press goes from strength to strength with their publication of Martin Foreman's collection of first persona narratives . . . each contains a strong, distinctive and powerful voice, leading the collection as a whole to never be anything less than diverting." Gay Times, April 2003 "engaging, told with style" Gay Scotland "Mr Foreman's style has evidently had a lot of attention lavished on it, not to mention careful study of the human race in its multiplicity of forms" Tregolwyn Book Reviews ISBN: 978 0 9525964 7 9 152 pages paperback; £6.99 Buy now (post free) We accept payment via paypal and also with most major credit cards (no paypal account needed) how to buy one of our books. paperback £6.99
