Love of Fat Men

Penguin Books 1998

Product Description
In this collection of short stories, the author takes the reader into a sensuous world of endless winters and midnight sun. As far apart as Finland, the Austrian Tyrol, and upstate New York, these stories come alive to the touch of estrangement, misunderstanding, sexuality and loss.
Back Cover:
There is nothing as sleep-giving as the shoulder and breast of a fat man... Flesh provides comfort in the harsh, winterbound world of Helen Dunmore's compelling short stories, but love is stretched to breaking-point. Tense, moving and mysterious, this collection explores the pain woven into human relationships, the ambivalence of filial love and the dangerous lure of sensuality, themes which echo between stories and linger in the mind.

A collection of short stories. Served well as a summertime reading. Interesting features and lovely use of english language. Found it ages ago, but only now found time (and didn't forget) to put it up online. Passing it on shortly.
