Imaginatively conceived...stories about men unable to connect with the women they love...cynical wit"" - Kirkus Reviews. ""The deeper Kenworthy's personal vision insinuates itself into your psyche, the more exhilarated you are by his alternately sinuous and jagged prose with its intoxicating chemistry of character and ideas."" - Time Out. These intense, mood-laden stories expertly explore the vulnerable underbelly of human emotion. From the sleazy backstreets of Paris and huddled London bedrooms, to apocalyptic SF, Kenworthy's characters live in a world where hope often turns to despair and where compassion is rewarded with malice.
