Fascination - Thryft

Life's haunting quest for elusive love.

"Fascination" offers a deep dive into the complexities of love and its various misadventures. Boyd has a knack for blending the supernatural with the starkly realistic, providing a tapestry of human emotion and desire that both entices and educates. The stories are diverse but united, appealing to anyone who’s felt the sting or sweetness of love's diverse forms.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This is William Boyd's third volume of short stories following his acclaimed collections On the Yankee Station (1981) and The Destiny of Nathalie X (1995). Described as the finest storyteller of his generation, Boyd shows his mastery of the form as these stories range widely through time and space. In a brilliant array of styles and narratives, we move from 1930s Germany to Los Angeles in the Second World War, from contemporary Oxford to 19th century Russia. Whether in London or Amsterdam, Eastbourne or a Normandy village, these stories explore and expose the fraught, funny, absurd, poignant, and lovelorn lives of their many and varied characters.
