About This Item
London. 1991. Jonathan Cape. 1st British Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0224031562. 191 pages. paperback. Jacket photograph by Gilles Peress. keywords: Literature Ireland Belfast. FROM THE PUBLISHER - This is a first collection of short stories from a new writer who has lived and worked for most of his life in Belfast. It is not surprising then that this collection reflects some of the anguish of that city, and some of its preoccupations. With a few precise words David Park builds an image - of a grocer's shop in Oranges from Spain', of a farm in winter in The Trap', of a city street in The Apprentice', of a simple sitting-room in Searching the Shadows'. Drawing his pictures from reality he endows them with the conviction of truth and in that lies his strength. These stories are about young people. They are about the realities of growing up against a background of contradiction and confusion. What will finally surprise and disarm the reader is that they are stories of hope, suggesting not a solution but a desire to come to terms. David Park is a teacher in a country school in County Down. He is thirty-six years old, was born in Belfast and lived there till five years ago. He is now working on his first novel. inventory #33379 ISBN: 0224031562.
