Highly commended in the Alan Marshall Award.
“The publication of these stories is quite an event…” Judah Waten
“Alan Collins’s stories indicate the presence of a sharp-eyed social observer, a keen-eared listener, a writer with a lively grasp of the physical world, and a rich sense of humour. A writer with a sense of the theatrical and the absurdity of human behaviour.” Faye Zwicky
