London Bites: Eight Stories

Eight stories, some poignant, others with a twist in the tail, expose the everyday and the unusual in London in the early 1990s. Eloise is an aspiring poet on the London poetry reading circuit who discovers something enticing. Soft drinks delivery men delivering to pubs and clubs reveal what they really think. A music student suspects a poltergeist is loose in her disbelieving house share. While a South African exile finds more than he expected by a vegetable patch. Enriching these stories and others of urban life in the city are seven textured poems published in London anthologies at the time. In London Bites, Brandon Broll explores a cultural richness, English humour and ethnic diversity in Londoners that, in any era, inhabits the public and very private spaces of this great city.
