Richard Foreman
Wilful Misunderstandings
Buch
A unique concept frames Richard Foreman's 'Wilful Misunderstandings', a collection of short stories from Lepus Books. In each of these thirty-four tales the author takes a word, phrase or saying, twisting it into a new meaning, and by extension a new reality.

A unique concept frames Richard Foreman's 'Wilful Misunderstandings', a collection of short stories from Lepus Books. In each of these thirty-four tales the author takes a word, phrase or saying, twisting it into a new meaning, and by extension a new reality. The stories that emerge extend across a diverse stylistic range through sci-fi, adventure, crime, romance, horror, folk tale and magic realism. The many worlds of 'Wilful Misunderstandings' can be rampantly surrealistic at times, not so very different from our own at others. A 'parapet' becomes a beast assigned as a familiar to would-be mystics. If you go out and 'stretch your legs' you come home taller. 'Accolade' is a drink that gives you a pat on the back. But in each tale, readers will meet engaging characters in intriguing situations - some humorous, some perilous, some with deep emotional resonance.

Über den Autor
Having completed a BA in literature at Essex University in 1973, Richard Foreman took on a variety of occupations including community arts and theatre work. In the late 1980s, writing as 'Dick Foreman', he became a full time scriptwriter of comic strips, progressing from one-off stories to a monthly series for US publisher DC comics. 'Black Orchid' ran for two years. Following this, his working life switched to other interests, but for twenty years he continued writing quarterly scripts for photo-stories/comic strips in 'Who Cares?', a national magazine for children in care. Since 2009 he has returned full time to writing. Following a series of well-received articles for Alan Moore's 'Dodgem Logic' magazine, he began work on 'Wilful Misunderstandings'. He has recently contributed to the magazines 'Roundyhouse' and 'Tears in the Fence' and is currently writing a novel.
