The Last Book You Read

The four things you can?t live without: air, water,shelter, sleep. More questions. The last book you read: none Sexual preferences: I hesitated on that one. An internet blind date; a fuck buddy; a man who is writing a book called The Adulterer?s Guide; a couple venturing out on their first foursome; a man waiting to see his children again after a divorce; a woman planning to seduce a friend?s husband. Frank, witty, disturbing and ultimately compassionate, The Last Book You Read marks the debut of a powerful new voice. These stories tell of people caught between places and lovers, between the USA and Scotland, between desire, addiction and regret. From this collection emerges a singular picture of modern-day relationships, their conflicts and passions. Male or female; gay or straight; young or old; married, single or divorced – the difficult loves of the contemporary urban world are charted with clarity and assurance.
