Overview

Jack and Sal, two people drifting in and out of love. Jack searches for clues, for a pattern, for an explanation to life's events. Perhaps the answer is in evolution, in dopamine, in chaos theory, or maybe it can be found in the minutiae of domesticity where the majority of life's dramas unfold. Here, Anthony Cropper has produced a delicately detailed account of a troubled relationship, with a series of micro-stories and incidents that recount the intimate lies, loves and lives of Jack and Sal and their close friend Paula.

Reviews

A very real and complex picture of contemporary relationships, of how life is lived for many of us - not poor, not rich, not sane, not crazy, and of the social, economic, geographic landscapes in which we play out our personal dramas - which we feel at the same time to be totally insignificant and the centre of the universe. Emily Penn - Sheffield; Here we have some really beautiful pieces. It is remarkable how he has mixed happiness and bitterness, love and cruelty, sadness with some hilarious parts, just like life does. Manuel Lafuente - Madrid; The underlying sadness of the doomed relationship is haunting. But that's good. That's the way it should be. Michael Lyng - Wexford; 'Cropper's real talent is his narrative voice, which has an effortlessly energetic quality to it, one that conjures up in the mind's eye what the narrator must be doing, arms and hands gesturing, legs bending forward and stepping back, torso leaning from one side to another, and then looming forward as he makes a point' Tom Bowden - USA
