The doll turns out to be the corpse of a little girl, and then not a corpse at all to the astonishment of Rita, the local nurse and midwife, the seemingly pulseless, waxen child revives, and for weeks the habitués of the Swan can talk of nothing else. On the evening of a winter solstice in the 19th century, a drenched man with a bashed-in face bursts through the door with what appears to be a large doll. Once Upon a River takes more than a few pages to begin properly, even though it kicks off with a promisingly dramatic event that electrifies the regulars at the Swan, a riverside inn in Oxfordshire renowned for the quality of its storytellers.

He conveys joy, pain, longing, rage-especially the rage felt by those who experience racism-with talent and force, writing through genres and styles ranging from the fantastical to the cartoonish, the dystopian, the morbidly stark and the surreal.Ī few of the stories-“Friday Black,” “In Retail” and “How to Sell a Jacket as Told by IceKing”-confront consumerism with razor-sharp satire.
