About this ebook

"Forty-eight occasional pieces ranging from the music of forest rebels to Arabic novels by way of Kenyan trains and the automatic pistols in my mother's attic."

Jonathan Falla's life and work has taken him from origins in the Caribbean to disaster relief agencies and children's rights, by way of university scholarships and nursing. His writing career includes award-winning stage and film drama, widely acclaimed novels and short stories, and these inquisitive, witty essays taken from journals and radio. There's not a dull page here.
