Bear-Faced Lies And Other Fictions

B. Mamatha

4.9/5 (33869 ratings)

Description:DISCONCERTING, DOUBLE-EDGED & BITTERSWEET: six stories that are both preposterous and entirely believable - they linger long after the telling. B. Mamatha (‘The House They Couldn’t Build’) deconstructs modern life to create allegories, twisted fairy tales and inventive, memorable fiction. Counting Kafka, Carver, Angela Carter, Ray Bradbury and Borges as her literary influences, Mamatha’s take is long-form short stories that feature the surreal and darkly comic. Praise for The House They Couldn't Build: “Smart and black humoured, a treat.” ~ Goodreads review “Were every short story in this collection expanded into a novel, I would want to read every one of them” ~ Goodreads review “Mamatha’s skill at summing up situations through arresting images ground her flights of fancy in a world both real and tangible.” ~ Publisher’s Weekly In OUT OF NATURE, both the heroes and the villains are bears. Set in a dystopian future, one is the hunted and the other the hunter – yet the lines between the two are often blurred. THE PARTY, for its cast of elegant characters, is no refuge from the dull reality of a dying love affair. In COMPANY BUSINESS, ungainly outsider Famke finds his life derailed by an unexpected job offer.The error takes him into a nightmarish city of concrete, corporatism … and beautiful friendship. EACH DAY, THE SUN spans the lifetime of two sisters living at the edge of the world. Told through everyday incidents both comic and heart-wrenching, we see the fabric of their lives, love and petty rivalries. THE PLAGUE HOUSE could hardly be more different: a young boy is one of the sole survivors of an illness that has destroyed the world. When a stranger invades his sanctuary, he finds his existence under threat once more. Finally, OF ICARUS, tells a fantastical tale laced with sadness: an old man recounts a story he once heard, and which he still believes - of the day the wind stopped.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
