Freewheeling and sharp-witted short fiction that reminds us of Beckett less for the style but for the sheer insight. Brilliant writing.

An inventive, honest and distinctive debut collection, filled with humour and yet sometimes unsettling in the directness of its gaze.

Through the figure of Punch, Burlesque explores themes of identity and the roles imposed on us through circumstance and conditioning before examining how creativity shapes our view of ourselves, the masks we wear often unconsciously, and how we strive to come to terms with the human condition through wry humour moments of compassion.
