Beskrivning
Shortlisted for the W&A Working Class Writers’ Prize 2022. A collection of short stories linked by the theme of tattoos.Our lives, our experiences and the people we encounter leave behind indelible marks. On the Bodies of Strangers explores marked lives and marked flesh. The stories in this collection are linked by a single thread: the tattoos of their protagonists, traces of experiences and meaning etched onto their skin. These are stories about the chaos of ordinary lives, about people who are flawed, complicated, but always deeply human. From domestic abuse to unexpected friendship, mixing horror and hope, intimacies and lies, On the Bodies of Strangers explores the many ways we mark each other and ourselves as we deal with the complexities of human behaviour.

Recensioner i media

‘On the Bodies of Strangers is a collection that pulses with yearning for connection and desire for change. Each story captures moments that mark their characters, both figuratively and literally, leaving them transformed in ways both visible and unseen. As finely drawn as a beautiful tattoo, Hannah Steven’s stories reveal both the pain and joy that life can bring, and how a line as thin as that laid down by the tattooist’s needle can lie between the two.’— Dan Powell, author of Looking Out of Broken Windows ‘Meticulously observed and emotionally compelling… Hannah Stevens is a vital voice in contemporary short fiction.’ —Victoria MacKenzie, author of For Thy Great Pain Have Mercy On My Little Pain.
