Six short stories. Love Among the Haystacks The Lovely Lady Rawdon's Roof The Rocking-Horse Winner The Man Who Loved Islands The Man Who Died. My favourite stories are The Rocking-Horse Winner and The Lovely Lady. There are some things to discuss in each story. The Man Who Loved Islands and The Rocking-Horse Winner particularly. As for The Lovely Lady, it is a short story with a powerful finish.

Existentialist Hemingway. 1930s. I can see Ernest writing this piece in a café, de Beauvoir and Sartre quietly observing from a table in the corner.

Alan Bennett never fails. The writing, not a wasted word. Makes one realise, inadvertently, that Orwell didn't write anything funny, not intentionally anyway, an odd fact in the most English of writers. The first story, The Greening of Mrs Donaldson is the more humorous. Both stories would adapt well to film, though on first reading maybe The Shielding of Mrs Forbes the better material for adaptation to film.
