Böcker av Charlie Hill

What is the nature of modern 'madness'? What is it like to suffer with grief or PTSD or obsessive love? To struggle with other people, or your environment? How do you view others who see the world differently to you? And what does it mean to be considered odd, or eccentric?ENCOUNTERS WITH EVERYDAY MADNESS is an exceptional collection of stories - some long, some short, some immersive, some detached, some experimental, some traditional - that looks at contemporary 'madness' in all its forms.

In Charlie Hill's satirical short story collection, people stare. Behind twitching curtains. Behind the lens of a camera. With an eye reminiscent of Samuel Beckett, Charlie Hill invites you to be privy to strange social experiments, laugh at the pomp of the privileged classes and dwell in space.

A vision of drinking, drugs, culture, sex, politics and masculinity in the Midlands in the 1980s and 1990s.
