Sinopse

Following his debut collection, The Red Man Turns to Green, Dickson Telfer returns with this fresh offering of dark and comical short prose about everyday life. Join a 92-year-old man in his quest for peace. Place yourself in front of a class from hell. Be surprised by your home town. Discover the unsettling world behind the curtain of television. Look dead fish in the eye. Traipse your way through litter and text messages. Bark with joy. And don't let anything stop you enjoying refrigerator cake. "Dickson Telfer is a true original. His stories are deceptively innocent, but pull you in with an undertow that can be sinister, moving or hilarious, often all at the same time. He can create a character in a brushstroke and brilliantly, we often don't know whose side we're supposed to be on until the last line." Mark Blayney, winner of the Somerset Maughan Prize for Two Kinds of Silence. "Dickson Telfer plays centre forward in a new wave of exciting young writers. Read this book and you'll know why." Joe England, Editor of PUSH magazine.

    W. W. Jacobs was best known for his humorous tales of sailors, often related by his most popular and enduring character: the night-watchman on the wharf in Wapping, recounting the preposterous adventures of his acquaintances Ginger Dick, Sam Small, and Peter Russet. These three characters, pockets full after a long voyage, would take lodgings together determined to enjoy a long spell ashore; but the crafty inhabitants of dockland London would soon relieve them of their funds, assisted by the sailors' own fecklessness and credulity.In this story, Sam Small meets a man in a pub who claims to be a detective in need of a sailor to help him catch a pickpocket. Ginger Dick and Peter Russet point out that the whole plot is a set-up which will result in Sam being robbed himself. Sam refuses to listen to them, so Ginger and Peter decide to take matters into their own hands...
