Nik Perring’s moving and imaginative flash fictions capture whole lives in just a glimpse, a character, a snatch of dialogue, and a few perfectly chosen details. These short, short stories are so full of life. -Michael Kimball, author of Dear Everybody
An unforgettable assortment of wonky connections that glitter with truthfulness, that spill out ache, that make me nod my head and whisper,yes. -Caroline Smailes, author of Like Bees to Honey
'I was reminded of Rhodes and Hempel while reading these stories, which are easily their equal, as well as occasional glimpses of Murakami, but I mostly kept thinking back to Sarah Salway. Salway is probably the best short story writer in the UK at the moment and she had better watch out because Perring is (albeit very politely, I am sure) on her tail.' - Scott Pack, publisher with The Friday Project (HarperCollins).
Perring is a writer whose talent expands beyond his word count in this intriguing debut. -Michael Czyzniejewski, author of Elephants in Our Bedroom.

I love this video - and it was good to be reminded of it today! Thanks Nik :-)
That's beautiful! I recently did something alone for the first time when I went to see a play. Couldn't imagine ever eating out on my own though.
You're very welcome, Francesca!
Hey Miriam. Good on you for going to the play alone. I guess it goes in stages and on what you feel comfortable doing - or WANT to do.I find doing something like that on my own quite refreshing.
Thanks for this poem.
Pleasure - it's ace, isn't it!
