The Travellers and Other Stories | Carys Davies
3 posts | 3 to read
Carys Davies' short story collections Some New Ambush and The Redemption of Galen Pike (winner of the 2015 Frank O'Connor Award), now published in a single volume. In a remote Australian settlement a young wife with an untellable secret reluctantly invites her neighbour into her home. On a red island in a rose-coloured sea, russet-haired women dream of a fisherman with hair black as night. A Quaker spinster offers companionship to a condemned man in a Colorado jail. Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins visit a women's asylum, and the course of literary history is changed forever. Spare, precise and charged with wit, these award-winning stories are set in places near, far and imaginary. Carys Davies takes us to a world where the lines between reality and fantasy, tragedy and comedy, madness and sanity begin to dissolve. Combining two collectionsSome New Ambush and Frank O'Connor Award-winner The Redemption of Galen PikeThe Travellers and Other Stories is a work of exceptional talent and original vision.

Tamra @shawnmooney me too! 💜 Devoured that collection and can‘t think of a better one. (edited) 7y
Tamra @shawnmooney turns out this edition is a compilation of Galen Pike & Ambush, which I already had purchased. I went ahead and read Ambush separately and it didn‘t disappoint! Galen Pike is slightly better overall, but still, so so good! 7y

I so adored, just LOVED, Carys Davies' stories in Redemption of Galen Pike earlier this year, that midway thru I ordered these other two collections that I have high hopes for. I am currently hoarding Kooser's poems and dolling them out like expensive chocolates, one at a time. I've heard Cry, The Beloved Country is a classic. @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled thanks for the tag!

Tamra @ReadingEnvy I knowwwwwwww. Totally. 😆 (edited) 7y
ValerieAndBooks I read Cry, the Beloved Country as required reading in HS (eons ago)! Recently picked it up at the used bookstore to see what I could still remember. Still sitting in the TBR! 7y
Tamra @ValerieAndBooks 🤞🏾 I started as an audio, and was very much interested, but quit because I felt like it was something I should read to focus. I'm always worried I'm going to miss something on audio when I get distracted by life. (edited) 7y
