Blue Postcards - Fairlight Moderns (Paperback)

'It is a story, unlike our ability to see colour, that haunts and intensifies rather than diminishes with time.' -Carmen Marcus, author of 'How Saints Die'; 'Seductively original, linguistically daring, almost dangerously immersive - with Blue Postcards, Douglas Bruton continues to build a deserved reputation as one of our most skilful story-tellers. A real de-light.' -Stephen May, author of the Costa shortlisted 'Life! Death! Prizes!'; 'I savoured every word of this beautiful novella and look forward to reading more of Bruton's work.' -Julie Corbin, author of 'A Lie For A Lie'; 'In 'Blue Postcards', Douglas Bruton weaves a master-tapestry out of the lives of dissimilar characters from post-war Paris; a Jewish tailor, the eccentric artist Yves Klein, a love-struck tourist, and a street conman. The novel - and the magic blue Tekhelet thread that stitches it together - will stay with readers forever, leaving them in a more beautiful and coincidental world.' -Julia Nemirovskaya, poet, playwright and writer; 'An ingenious book.' -Stuart Kelly, Scotland on Sunday
