Description

Steve Matchett's thought-provoking short story - Fragments from France - has proved one of the author's most popular pieces of memoire writing. This atmospheric tale was first published in his highly acclaimed collection of short stories, These Desired Things. This brand new volume sees 'Fragments' elevated in status, now released as a compelling 'live performance edition' with the text typeset as for an 'after dinner' or theatre-style reading of the work - the pages divided into three distinct parts or 'acts' - endowing the powerful, imagery-rich narrative with a pleasing sense of event presentation. The story itself is set in the author's tranquil childhood when, one snowy day, back in the early nineteen-seventies, Mr. Goodman, a former infantryman, decides to share his Great War experiences with the young boy - this the first time he has talked with anyone of his horrific military experiences in the vile, gas-filled trenches of the first world war. The stark truth of the realities of that conflict are harrowing in the extreme, and that one snowy day spent listening to an old man's wartime memories would change the entire course of the author's adult life. Made available for under six dollars, this slender volume offers great value - the perfect gift for any enthusiast of Steve Matchett's always fascinating, often haunting writing.
