Theodore Dalrymple, almost singlehandedly, revived the languishing Essay and in so doing became Britain’s answer to Montaigne. In this, his first foray into the Short Story form, he proves himself a rival of Anton Chekhov. His many devoted fans will be delighted.

"Some truth can be told only in the form of fiction. That is why I chose to write these stories." -- Theodore Dalrymple

The stories are vintage Dalrymple. The impasses he brings to life and the irony while dealing with them are excellent social criticism - and (maybe) one of the best forms to deal with life’s dramas: irony, what else with so much cynicism? Behind the façade and good behavior of uptight Englishman (woman), the impatience and carelessness towards your fellow human neighbor…. empathy has no place in the world he brings us!

Dalrymple of the good old days
