We Aim to Live

We Aim to Live is a collection of fourteen powerful, dark and funny short stories, about ordinary people - mostly men - at moments of crisis, crossroads or revelation. The stories look unflinchingly at men-s behaviour and the moments when masculinity is on the edge of turning dangerous.

Some stories portray the toxic world of professional football drawing upon the writer-s past in that world; while others are set in high end hotels, removals firms and sheds.

Here, the issues of masculinity, class and the struggle with life-s small (and large) humiliations are all told in an authentic and utterly distinctive voice.
