Not So Perfect

Not So Perfect
"Playful, subversive, poetic and smart, Nik Perring’s stories are gems. Every one of them."- 3 :AM Magazine

What They've Said

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.
