| "Evolution" | 1988 | short fiction 1, | 2007 | 1st prize in their inaugural competition. "'Evolution' is what so many stories aspire to be: familiar for its realism and yet new for its imaginative sphere. Raising the stakes, there's a level of objective empathy here - difficult territory for a writer, where a sensitive subject might slip into the sentimental, or alternatively be kept at too great a distance. But the story manages it with confident control, doling out the exposition in just the right amounts, moving between characters with wit and verve. A story where the narrator sits static in his Portobello armchair requires, perhaps, a more energetic mind than most, and this narrator has one. Always, there's something curious being mulled over, something whimsical in a whirligig of referents. Reagan's polyps as surprising a play as the assailing of Lord Hailsham with psychic bolts. To borrow an image, the story sways between a muted and a clashing adagio; images and emotions nicely in tune. The reader evolves with it at every unexpected turn" - Anthony Caleshu |
