Jeremy Dyson

    Jeremy Dyson žije z jedného dôvodu; zabíjať zombie. Kým sa k tomu dostane, trávi čas pitím piva, písaním poviedok a učením svojich detí nechoďte na záchod na zem. Zatiaľ sa mu v týchto aktivitách podarilo uspieť iba v dvoch. Jeho literárna tvorba sa zameriava na napínavé príbehy, ktoré odrážajú jeho fascináciu nadprirodzenom a ľudskou vynaliezavosťou tvárou v tvár katastrofe. Dysonov štýl je priamy a úderný, navrhnutý tak, aby čitateľa vtiahol do deja a nepustil. Jeho písanie skúma hranice prežitia a morálky v extrémnych situáciách, čím ponúka pútavé a znepokojivé čítanie.

      Jeremy Dyson's collection of twelve tall tales are linked by the writer's surreal slant on everyday occurrences, sensibilites and desires.Set throughout the world, from Leeds to Eastern Europe and the Orient, we meet a flatmate who is born to save all mankind, and an 18th century automaton so beautiful men have killed in order to possess her. We are taken for a ride on London Underground's lost line which has a dark secret all of its own, and to a seemingly harmless auction of electrical goods with a devastating, hidden cost.The metaphysical meets the mundane in a Cornish resort where the tide goes out never to return, revealing something truly extraordinary on the seabed, and in an art class where an unpromising student produces an astonishing painting, which years later proves to have a dreadful significance for his bullying teacher.

      The thoughtful stories featured in this collection capture the soul of the city of Leeds by tracing the unique contours of 50 years of social and economic change. In one story the Millgarth Police Station reverberates with the early adrenaline rush of a case they won’t close for years. Another tells of a teenage boy who trails the city center bars of the 1980s in thrall to his hero, a Leeds United football hooligan. Despite being products of their time, these stories remain distinct from the larger events and wider currents that have shaped the cultural landscape of today’s Leeds, a modern city with both problems and promise. Featured authors include Tony Harrison, Jeremy Dyson, Shamshad Khan, Ian Duhig, David Peace, Susan Everett, M. Y. Alam, Andrea Semple, Martyn Bedford, and Tom Palmer.
