The Fahrenheit Twins

Deft and lyrical, this paperback edition of Michel Faber's new collection of stories is his first since his auspicious debut, "Some Rain Must Fall". It has sealed his reputation as one of Britain's most daring and original authors. Acclaimed for his pitch-perfect prose and brilliant characterisation, Faber is also celebrated for his mastery of contrasting styles. From achingly sad lost lives, through moments of exquisitely distilled happiness, to biblical innocence and savagery, Faber's characters are redeemed, abandoned, beloved and laid bare.

"Not only can he scare the bejesus out of you, he can make your heart swell." The Times "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 "Here is a writer who can compare with Conrad in his ability to write the perfect sentence." Guardian "The tales are simple, varied and, without exception, leave you begging to know more." Independent on Sunday "Michel Faber is a writer unafraid of trying something different... the results are intensely powerful." Big Issue"
