Recenzii
In these brilliant stories Alice Ash taps into a deep and compelling strangeness with vigour and humour and heart. This is a disturbing and moving collection, an unusual combination I'd like to encounter more often. "I cannot look away", one of her narrators remarks; that's how I felt, too.
A collection to savour - strange, funny, touching; Paradise Block is bound to be one of the debuts of the year ... it's very good
Searingly brilliant ... She is a witch with words.
Alice Ash's writing gets right at the rot underneath the polish of things, picking out the gothic in the full light of day. ... These are dangerous stories of the best kind: treading the line between terror and delight. I couldn't peel my eyes off them.
The best weird fiction holds up a fairground mirror to what we blithely call normal, reflecting a reality that warps and flickers. In Paradise Block, Alice Ash creates a world that is disturbingly Not. Restless and unsettling, these stories take a step sideways and away from the expected. Uneasy and deliciously wrong.
A powerful testimony to the reality of life on the margins. Raw, bizarre, disturbing, funny and uncanny.
Engaging, funny and surprising in equal measure, these stories are the work of a wonderfully unconventional imagination
This is not a green and pleasant land, but something much more prevalent, over-looked and deeply English. These stories depict difficult, often cash-poor characters, but they are respectfully written with such texture and poetry that they give voice to the thousands of lives that they echo. Eclectic, dark, moving and sometimes very funny.
Lively, unerring, intimate and gorgeously grotesque! Sentences as satisfying as feeling the cool squish of silt between your toes. As you merrily connect the dots between crisscrossing lives, these stories will get under your skin & make themselves at home there.
A matrix-like collection that reinvents the short story genre... the uneasy meshing of lives and stories is a reminder there is a strange poetry to co-existence.
An unconventional collection that treads the line between the disturbing and the delightful... These stories get under your skin.
Though dark, these stories are moving and funny, their stance on class and responsibility offering instances of bright clarity that turn the magnifying glass back onto the reader with a raised eyebrow ... read Paradise Block for a carnivalesque reflection of the world we live in.
Brims with honesty, humanity and a strong sense of the absurd, frequently tipping over into surrealism and comedy as well as pathos ... inventive and energetic, Paradise Block is also moving, and the device of recurring characters is cleverly and coherently used
Mesmerising ... Ash depicts these lives - and these impossible choices - with nuance and empathy ... The collection is made rich with these portraits of interior lives: characters' suffering brushes up against their pleasures, friendships, connections with one another
