Jellyfish

by Janice Galloway

Overview

In this powerful collection, Janice Galloway takes on David Lodge's assertion that 'literature is mostly about having sex and not much about having children; life's the other way round'. Her multi-layered stories not only explore sex and sexuality, but parenthood, relationships, the connections between generations, death, ambition and loss. Here are sixteen razor-sharp tales about the raw and poignant stuff of life, from one of Scotland's best loved and most acclaimed authors.

Editorial Reviews

"A shimmering piece of work."  —New York Times Book Review on Clara
 

"Superbly rendered. . . . Be warned, Galloway's lyric psychological realism is as dense as Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse. . . . Dreadfully well done."  —Kirkus Reviews on The Trick Is to Keep Breathing


"Meticulously observed, agonizing and funny. . . . A thoughtful, witty chronicle of depression and potential renewal."  —Publishers Weekly on The Trick Is to Keep Breathing
