Six Sherds [EPUB ebook] 
Novel on an Author

The six ‘sherds’ contained here – whether fragments of a novel, or short stories, or what you will – cover a good deal of ground, from a highly apocryphal tale of an errant young Jesus to a tattooist’s caper in Polynesia, stopping off in Renaissance Venice and England at the time of Queen Elizabeth I (with the Royal personage herself making a revealing appearance). These disparate pieces are united by the eternal pursuits of love, desire and the quest for a higher power, all wrapped up in the author s highly individual prose style, which contrives to be at once cynical and Olympian. From the stables and pastures of Andrew Motion, the late Max Harris, David K. Wong, and Sid Stebel, comes the author, so shall ye read. John Lawson
