About This Item
A boy watches his mother hooked and reeled ashore by a fisherman.
A couple give up their seats on a bus for lovers soon to be parted.
A woman searches through bushes for a piece of fabric torn from her husband's shirt.
The Man in the Shed is a haunting collection of stories about family and longing, Lloyd Jones takes conventional family life and tilts it sideways - what follows is a sublime blend of the suburban and the surreal, achingly beautiful and unforgettable.
