Items related to The Fahrenheit Twins and Other Stories
Deft and lyrical, fearless and human, Faber's new collection contains the finest writing to date from one of Britain's most interesting and important authors. Renowned for his pitch-perfect prose and brilliant characterisation, Faber is also loved for his mastery of wildly different styles. Capitalising on this strength, his new collection flows effortlessly from the biblical innocence and savagery of 'The Fahrenheit Twins', the unforgettable title story, to the unexpected ferocity of a betrayed wife, by way of an international conference on coconuts.

Review:
"By turns crepuscular, buoyant, delicate, wry, horrific, otherworldly, this worldly and organ-rupturingly funny collection is a vitamin-boost for the British short-story" (David Mitchell Guardian)
"If you want to see just how far the short story can take you, you have to buy this book" (David Robinson The Scotsman)
"As always with Faber, these stories are lifted by a delicate sense of otherness that suggest they inhabit a world almost imperceptibly parallel to our own" (Metro)
"I dread to think where Faber gets his inspiration from, but there's certainly no shortage of it in sight" (Independent on Sunday)
