THE TRICK IS TO KEEP BREATHING
Galloway invites us into the mind of a woman on the edge, in a novel which "resembles Tristram Shandy as rewritten by Sylvia Plath" (New York Times)
From the corner of a darkened room Joy Stone watches herself. Memories of deaths her married lover and her mother re-surface and boil over. Life has become all about finding the trick to keep going. Told with shattering clarity and wry wit, this is a Scottish classic fit for our time.
Janice Galloway was born in Ayrshire in 1955. She is the author of three novels, three collections of short stories and two memoirs. She has been writer in residence to four Scottish prisons, Research Fellow to the British Library, resident at Jura Distillery, and was recently the first Fellow in Residence at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Her radio work includes two series for BBC (LIFE AS A MAN and IMAGINED LIVES) and programmes on music and musicians. She also works extensively with musicians, visual artists and typographers.
