Quatrième de couverture :
Revue de presse :
'Mackay's observational precision is outstanding; she writes like an angel wielding a scalpel, dissecting her characters with sublime, sharp-edged prose... Her stories are grand entertainment' Guardian
Shena Mackay is one of the very best short-story writers in the world. The Atmospheric Railway contains not only thirteen brilliant new stories, but a selection of twenty-three more from her previous collection, making it a delight for her existing admirers and the perfect introduction to her work for newcomers.
'The Atmospheric Railway deserves a fanfare...Shena Mackay is nothing short of a national treasure' Spectator
'A brilliant new collection, a rare treat' The Times
'An absolute delight' Scotland on Sunday
'You have to marvel at the brilliance of her prose and the intelligent humanity of her voice' Evening Standard
'Mackay remains one of our most original contemporary authors. Eccentric, macabre, grimly funny and packed with dazzling metaphor, her writing is simply like no one else's' Financial Times
You can count on the unexpected in mackay's shirt fiction. But if disappointment is the lot of most of these characters, so, too, are moments of intense feeling. Readers are also rewarded by the sheer aptness of mackey's description and her fierce flashes of comedy. Snatches of verse and well-observed literary foibles decorate the narratives. In her rebellion against bleak predictability of t6he short story, Mackay's technical skill is diamond hard and her wit and imagination ever fertile (Lindsey Duguid The Sunday Times, Our Choice 2010-11-15)
Shena Mackay's short stories are wryly hilarious in their anatomising of the obsessions, eccentricities and fantasies behind ordinary lives. With throwaway brilliance, she conjures up unforgettable portraits (Katie Owen The Telegraph, Seven 2010-11-22)
funny and pointedly nostalgic narratives. Read on a suburban train - a delay will give you more time to delight in her writing' (Isobel Montgomery The Saturday Guardian 2010-11-22)
