Drowned Sprat and Other Stories Johnson, Stephanie Best known for her well-loved and prize-winning novels, Johnson also writes plays, poetry and short stories. Written over the last sixteen years, this collection of twenty-four include new stories and old favourites, showing the breadth and development of her writing. Insightful and blackly humorous, they range from a woman organising a second wife for her husband, to little girls glued to the phone, to the possibility of an octopus calling, to the lonely woman who saved its life. There are New Zealand stories and ones set overseas — in Bali and America — that reflect back on our country's perspectives and lifestyle. There are fables and ghost stories, tales of the young and the old, in a collection to savour and delight. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
