Sobre IBD

The ten short stories featured in this book are essentially about people confronted by life-changing events: some of their own making, some forced upon them. Whether it is the hasty removal of a key from a cupboard, a man’s discovery of his long-lost brother, a tourist’s decision to snatch the passport of a dead man who has just robbed him, a radio presenter faking his own death or a fateful phone call to a woman who is about to meet her illicit lover, these kind of turning points link all the tales together.The stories recount how individuals react to such events. While most of the protagonists seem to be outwardly likeable, their actions do not always deserve our respect. However, as fellow human beings, their motivations (revenge, love, duty or just curiosity) should be familiar to us.

However, by the end of the sixty poems in this book, readers should have sampled all aspects of the human condition: its sadness and foibles, certainly, but also its capacity for creating beauty and doing good. Overall,...

  • Last Night, Through The Window
    Stephen Gospage
    This is a collection of fifty-eight poems written between 2003 and 2016. From the point of view of the writer, they are not directly based on any particular life events or personal experiences but at the same time none of them are intended to be completely abstract. Some of the poems address serious, and sometimes unsettling, issues. Some are comic, and will hopefully raise a s...
