Synopsis
These are the best, worst and strangest people you could meet: bullied schoolchildren, lecherous ravers, religious loners and bored obsessives populate a world where normality becomes nightmarish and secrets dominate everything.
The ten tales of Recreation And Other Stories lead you through the lives of characters with too little – or too much – time to decide what they truly want from life. In “Fairy Wings” an ageing party animal cannot resist making trouble for her friends; in “When The Classroom Came To Life” one poor schoolboy is both a victim and the cause of his own downfall; in “Scarlett” a lovelorn teenager finally pays the price for his cruelty; in “The Lord’s Work” a woman who put faith before herself wonders what she has to show for it; and in “Daniel And Jeremy” a young man finally admits the truth about his sexuality amid the unsettling carnival of a village festival.
Recreation And Other Stories is a collection of ten stories by author and journalist George Chesterton. It’s about the trials of life, from young love to middle-aged madness to the serene but darkening descent of the elderly. It is comic and absurd, with characters crippled by uncertainty and doubt. Just your everyday kind of people really.
