795. William Boyd - The Dream Lover


Not generally a fan of short stories, but wanted a bit of a page turner after the longeurs of DHL. These were (mostly) fairly easy to read but unmemorable (maybe because so short?). The 2 or 3 featuring Morgan Leafy the hero of (I think) 'A good Man in Africa' (although Morgan isn’t a very good man) are very funny. There are a lot about teenage sexuality which are quite fun and readable but others that are bafflingly obscure. But I guess a bit of a chocolate box of short stories, which is perhaps what they should be.
