Description
Torrents of Our Time by Christian Fennell
A gifted storyteller with a wide-ranging audience, Christian Fennell challenges the weakness in the heart of all our truths, while illuminating our dreams and our fears. These are stories that reside in the broken places of us, a stunning dance between our flaws and the beauty and joy of who we are. Taken as a whole, Torrents of Our Time is a lyrical and page-turning narrative of love, loss, and pain.
Whatever expectations one might have of a book of dark, realist short stories set in rural America, this collection defies them, and instead weaves an elegant song of sadness, dark humour, and strangeness.

Many of Fennell’s stories, which employ different narrative techniques, create effective tension and suspense.

This book is simply Douglas Adams but written for small-town America. This is a Hitchhiker’s Guide to small-town America.

Christian Fennell writes stories to savour. Sharp, salty and sly, they come at you sideways with a shot of poignancy when you least expect it – and a twist of humour when you most need it.
