Until a Shrimp Learns to Whistle is a compellingly mordant yet profound and moving meditation on the ephemeral quality of our existence. In these lapidary narratives there is a dark overall cast to the work, the writer being influenced by the dystopic early J.G. Ballard in the bleak pessimism and claustrophobic surreal nature of the writing. There is nothing that is anodyne or palliative in Tim Collins's work, only the voice of a writer who speaks the truth and bids us accept the condition without flinching.
