The Young and the Old - Paul Sutton

In this collection of poetic short stories, Paul Sutton takes a journey through life, from the very young through to the teenage years and into adulthood and old age. Young people and old people alone and together. Lyrical tales of rebellion, conformity, grief, neglect, creation and joy. Some of the stories have appeared in magazines over the last twelve years, but most are new. Praise for the collection has been unanimous: "It reminded me of the American short stories that overwhelmed us in the late forties. Paul Sutton is going to overwhelm us all again" (Vivian Pickles). Illustrated with Paul Sutton's own 35mm Leica photographs, and with line-drawings by Paul Dufficey, who made his name as the production designer of the Ken Russell film 'Tommy', from the rock opera by The Who. This paperback edition contains a brand new story, 'The King'.
