Why Don't You Stop Talking: Stories
by Jackie Kay
With exception to the very first short story ('Shark! Shark!'), which in my opinion set a disgracefully bad first impression, (and almost put me off continuing), this collection houses some incredibly moving and memorable pastiches. Every one plays like a short film. There are numerous beautiful pieces of prose which almost taste poetic. Not to mention the terrific use of women of all ages, races and sexualities as protagonists! This is a warm, occasionally very funny, and ultimately hugely compelling glimpse into the lives of some very intriguing people.
