Abstract
A cricket team’s youthful scorer has ‘lovely white knees’ and ‘delicate’ ears, but something inside him is wrong. A lad called Dewhurst likes to ‘bow down before the cows’. Frank has become allergic to his pigeons. At a university open day, a prospective student plays toilet tennis. A cub reporter for a local newspaper meets Cheese Horn and Wolftoucher at a CB Radio gathering. On a bus, there’s Sean, who has a mysterious ‘island-chain of burns stretching over face, scalp and neck’. Swann’s flashes are humorous, tender, and profound. One of his characters would say that the collection is ‘pearling’ and ‘ace’.
