Description
A need for place. A search for peace. a ceaseless quest, balanced by occasional respite -- physical,psychological or metaphysical. These are the preoccupations of our time, and they are fertile ground for the taut incisive prose of an accomplished writer. With Means of Escape, internationally acclaimed anthropologist, filmmaker and writer Hugh Brody makes a brilliant fiction debut.
Editorial Reviews
"I recommend these tales to all connoisseurs fo the short story, for they are unique in flavour and style, altogether unusual, and will stay in my memory like elegiac and lyrical songs or poems. Beautiful."
— Doris Lessing
"Intense, deeply felt, charged fiction...A masterful accomplishment"
— M. T. Kelly
"Brody compels you to witness the havoc that emotional damage wreaks, compellingly, movingly, with no quarter given."
— Sunday Times
