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.

Loving that. From the quality of the vid thought this was an old band but had a look at their Wikipedia and found they are current. Have you read their Wiki - the origin section is particularly brilliant:
'After breaking up with his girlfriend, moving out of his house ........ and leaving a 12-step program for addiction, Ebert began work on a book about a messianic figure named Edward Sharpe. According to Ebert, Sharpe "was sent down to Earth to kinda heal and save mankind...but he kept getting distracted by girls and falling in love."
LOVE this song (and the way he looks at her is a bit perfect too). I think that when the artists have fun creating, then the auudience enjoy that little bit more. I smiled all the way through this one x
Hey Dan - yeah, that vid looks like something from the late sixties, doesn't it? They've got that hippy look down. Their album's well worth checking out too - and I love what it says about them on Wiki
Caroline - exactamuno!
