Jones, Cynan2017
Books
A powerful new work that paints a visceral portrait of a man locked in an uneven struggle with the forces of nature. WINNER OF THE BBC NATIONAL SHORT STORY AWARD 2017 Out at sea, in a sudden storm, a man is struck by lightning. When he wakes, injured and adrift on a kayak, his memory of who he is and how he came to be there is all but shattered. Now he must pit himself against the pain and rely on his instincts to get back to shore, and to the woman he dimly senses waiting for his return. With its taut narrative and its wincingly visceral portrait of a man locked in an uneven struggle with the forces of nature, this is a powerful new work from one of the most distinctive voices in British fiction.
