SHORT STORY: IT IS A demanding art. Don't be fooled because it appears small, it's not small, it is merely compact, trim, intense. A good short story says it all and well, leaving its rival, the novel, huffing and puffing and only halfway up the hill. The great short story burns its presence into your memory. It catches the moment, alludes to a reality and leaves the reader complicit and involved as well as awestruck, grateful, moved and alive.

RADIO REVIEW: THERE IS ONE thing juicier than those stories of how we like to impress our neighbours with a new conservatory, flashy car or holiday in the South of France (actually, better make that the Caribbean), and that's sordid tales of how our greed and vanity interferes with our religious life. Or what remains of it.
