The Large Garbage: Radio Belly Single has the distinction of being the first e-book I’ve ever read – and what a great experience! Buffy Cram’s vivid prose and quirky, yet relatable characters pulled me into this futuristic world very fast, and I’m hungry for more. I look forward to reading the rest of the stories in her new anthology Radio Belly.
This story set in the seemingly banal world of an everyday suburb is anything but 'normal'. Teeting on the edge of our own reality, Large Garbage subtly and intriguingly slips into the realm of the uncanny. If this is any indication of the rest of the collection (Radio Belly), we're in for a treat from a new voice in fiction.
Buffy Cram describes a surreal world of disenfranchised artists where literature is a thing of the past, replaced by "rational" thought and jobs in the maths and sciences... did I say surreal? Large Garbage may take place in an "alternate world", but there are many parallels to the current state of the world.
