A review by annemaries_shelves
The Penguin Book of the Contemporary British Short Story by Philip Hensher
3.0
Okay collection as a whole - I tended to enjoy the female author’s stories more.
Didn’t like the “Men” section’s stories at all unfortunately. But really enjoyed the “War and Politics” and “Catastrophic Worlds” sections a lot.
Warning for a lot of homophobic language in Irvine Welsh’s “Catholic Guilt (You Know You Love It)”.
