Scars: Nine Short Stories (English Edition)

Scars: Nine Short Stories (English Edition)

In Scars, his first collection of short stories, Mike Poliwoda gives us nine narratives, nine glimpses into lives uniquely expressed, but undeniably familiar. With each of the male protagonists or narrators presented, of various ages and occupations, the voice is sure, consistent without ever dulling its edge, and each voice engages. Poliwoda inexorably pulls us into the emotional world of his characters with an effortlessness that speaks of a talented storyteller at work. The straightforward narrative style is shot through with humour, lines of striking fitness, and flickers of social dis-ease. Buffeted by politics or religion, romance or lust, holocaust or boredom, these characters come alive with deft strokes that open up new perspectives.
