VOLCHIN & OTHER STORIES
Selected short fiction by Ian Clark and Ian Clark writing as Clark Nida
Winning the NUF Short Story Competition, Volchin was praised by Kingsley Amis for showing the true quality of the novelist--and short story writer: imagination.
In these stories, Nida takes us to the outer reaches of human experience, from prehistory to the distant future.
A man caught between the wolves who raised him and the medieval monks who tame him... an Egyptian scribe with a clerical error that spells doom... a wood spirit in a caravan... a tramp... a sage... a family of Martians...
By turns unsettling and moving, these are stories of acute existential struggle.
About the author:
Graduating from Keele University with a PhD in Pure Maths and a pocketful of prizes and commendations for short stories of an unsettling nature, Clark Nida's career went on to be nothing if not diverse.
He has acted in pantomimes, engineered software, sold encyclopedias, been a mental health nurse, a police scientist and a senior academic. He has lived, worked and travelled widely overseas in Europe, Scandinavia, and the USA (which, as a resident alien living in five-star hotels, run-down motels and way-out alternative communities, he has seen more of than most Americans ever do).
He now lives in Whitby, on the brow of Yorkshire's Jurassic Coast, with a virtual cat, a pet geode and a 350-year-old ghost of himself.
