Description
THE MAN WHO TOOK A BITE OUT OF HIS WIFE and Other Stories Surreal and audacious, Jafek's writing brings to mind the fantastic short fiction of Borges, Boyle, and Calvino - exhibiting an imagination the likes of which is rarely seen. An astonishing first collection by a brilliantly subversive new writer who pushes the limits of literary fantasy to the extreme, Jafek combines intelligent humour with an unerring sense of postmodern absurdity. Sly and surreal...recommended.' - Interzone'
