Beschreibung
This Artistic Life is a new anthology by Barry Hines, the author of Kes (A Kestral for a Knave).
These short stories, many previously unpublished, cover sport and reflections on his home village of Hoyland Common in Barnsley, its landscape and the colourful characters that people it. Most of the pieces were written at the same time as his seminal novel which has been a staple of English literature for 40 years.
Also included is a series of poems, both whimsical and profound, and reflections on Hines' work by younger writers, Richard Benson and Mark Hodkinson..
