Synopsis
The short stories in Love and other Possibilities offer a world of escape and adventure by award winning writer R L Davies. From Spain to Sri Lanka, Davies takes the reader around the world on a whirlwind of spell binding emotional honesty, facing varying – and often difficult – issues such as cultural identity, parental responsibility and, of course, love, with deep and provocative thought. The characters in each story are created so intricately that their innermost feelings and desires are brought to life with every page. Winner of the prestigious Rhys Davies Award, Lewis Davies’ work includes the best selling and award winning classic novel of Welsh contemporary life Work, Sex and Rugby. He is also a playwright with productions including Football and Sex and Power at the Beau Rivage both touring UK wide with several Theatre Wales nominations for best new work. His travel book Freeways won the John Morgan Award. Love and other Possibilities is his first new work of fiction for seven years
An eclectic mix of short stories exploring identity, art and crime, this collection is a richly original look at the everyday. Davies’ imagery is tender and striking, exploring such diverse characters as the actor learning to deal with recognition and the medical student who is fascinated by her cadaver.
