Publisher's Synopsis

Throughout this, the first collection of short stories from playwright Deborah Levy, knowledge and intuition, science and love are juxtaposed as conflicting sources of motivation. Each character portrayed embodies a dilemma and enacts a drama in settings that vary from Ibiza to Camden Town, from rural Spain to a precarious rowing-boat.;The author is concerned with chaos and loss of hope, with corruption and commitment to finding a truth. She takes our world as it is, as it has been and life as it could be.;Deborah Levy is an actress, poet and playwright whose plays "Heresies" and "Ruins" were commissioned by The Royal Shakespeare Company.
