Flamingoes in Orbit
A teenager stares at his reflection and sees the Milky Way. A motorbike prowls and growls like a wild animal. A whale sings a song to end loneliness.
Philip Ridley’s collection of short stories – like his two adult novels, Crocodilia and In the Eyes of Mr Fury – became an instant cult classic when first published in 1990. Magical, poetic, heartbreaking and humorous, the sequence explores childhood, family life, romantic love in all its aspects – lost, unrequited, obsessional – and does so with a haunting mixture of both the barbaric and the beautiful that has become Ridley’s trademark. In particular, these tales deal with the experience of growing up gay in a world still bristling with prejudice, and they sing and howl with the need for equality and freedom.
This edition includes two new stories, “Alien Heart” and “Wonderful Insect”, and finally completes a seminal and compelling collection first begun over thirty years ago.
REVIEWS
‘Ridley sets off a deliberate quiet and matter-of-fact prose against touches of glowing passion ...The stories achieve a startling variety. The power of the book as a whole, however, derives from the way in which these different voices blend in a single cry of frustration and regret.’ – Times Literary Supplement.
‘Menace lurks in the shady corners of family life ... Chilling.’ – Time Out
‘Ridley is a visionary.’ – Rolling Stone

Flamingoes in Orbit is my first taste of Philip Ridley’s unique and creative writing, and after perusing his backlist, I can see I’m just getting started. There’s a thread of darkness running throughout this collection of stories which I thoroughly enjoyed. After the first one I knew not to expect where any tale was headed... and I just sat back and enjoyed the ride.
Absolutely perfect for the tone of these stories is the soothing, melodic voice of narrator Josh Shirt. I’m disappointed to find he doesn’t currently have any other audiobooks available on Audible, and if this talented performer uses any other names I’d sure love to know about it.
Mr. Shirt brings these stories to life in a way that had chills running down my back. He’s subtle as he builds the tension, and when the inevitable twists come in the plot it’s a wonderful surprise as couldn’t tell it was coming.
So if you like a beautifully written, edgy story check out the writing of Philip Ridley. And if you’re looking to get lost in a thrilling audiobook, it would be hard to pick a better one than Flamingoes in Orbit.

Powerful selection of stories. The first one, The Tooth Of Troy Flamingo and the second-to-last Another Story are cutting tales of homophobia and bigotry. The rest are shorter, more poetic works. Themes of identity, sexuality, connection, and alienation are explored in insightful and sometimes ugly ways. A great queer work that really should be palatable for anyone. After reading the ebook, I wanted to buy a paperback, but Valencourt need to put this back into print so it’s a little pricey. Worth seeking out though.

So, I was encouraged to pick up this book based on the cover and the unique title. I wasn’t sure what to expect of the story, but the stories inside were all wonderful. This collection of short works is rough and raw, full of emotion, and they all fit together in one way or another to tell a truly compelling story.
Since I listened to the audiobook, I didn’t have the words in front of me to see when one story ended, and another began. The narrator, Josh Shirt, however, made smooth transitions. The characters were also well voiced.

This is my first time reading this book and, judging from the reviews I've seen, I missed a critical piece of literature from my youth. I liked the writing style of the stories and how they all felt very different but still felt like they belonged together. My issue was some of triggering scenes that I wish I had been warned about because they hit me like a ton of bricks to the head. Despite this, I enjoyed the stories.
I listened to the audiobook and Josh Shirt did an excellent job narrating. I didn't have the text in front of me, but he managed to catch the nuances of the characters and the writing. I also think his pacing was perfect which is often the biggest problem I encounter with audiobooks.

Non solo uno dei migliori libri di racconti che abbia mai letto, ma forse uno dei migliori libri che abbia mai letto. Anche se fa male un cane, anche se non c’è salvezza.

Stories with beginnings, middles, and endings? How démodé. One of the few collections I've read where I have enjoyed every story (even the best of collections tend to be a bit of a curate's egg).
So good it is prompting me to re-read In the Eyes of Mr Fury which I haven't read since it was published 30-odd years ago and remember only dimly.

Mi colpisce sempre la capacità di Ridley di svelarci quel mondo sommerso, quelle impressioni primigenie, intime e vivide che daranno forma ai protagonisti e senso alle storie.
Il senso, la forma delle nostre esistenze sono racchiuse in quell'involucro mitologico: un fiore strappato dal giardino e donato al padre al riparo dallo sguardo inquisitore della madre, un granchio nascosto in un secchiello da spiaggia, il profumo dei giacinti nel giardino dell'infanzia.

This is one of the most underrated collections of short stories ever. Yeah, I may have been young when I read it but it has stuck in my head like few other books. I put it up there with McEwan's First Love, Last Rites and Mike McCormack's Getting it in the Head.

Probabilmente è perché l'ho letto per la prima volta a un'età particolarmente influenzabile (11 anni), ma è stato uno dei libri che mi ha letteralmente cambiato la vita.
Mi ha disgustato, ammaliato, respinto.
E poi mi ha cambiato la vita.

Very dark short stories from an English writer, published in 1990. Well written but very depressing. Not recommended for January reading.

“BARBARIC AND BEAUTIFUL” SHORT STORIES
The order in which the stories appear in a collection has a lot to do with the impact they have on the reader. I’ve begun to really believe this as I read more collections of short stories. Phillip Ridley’s Flamingoes in Orbit proves my point. He begins the collection of ten stories with a gripping novella titled “The Tooth of Troy flamingo,” which is followed by several short and medium-length stories. The collection reaches its peak with “Another Story,” which is another novella. Then the collection concludes with “Wonderful Insect,” a sensitive and lyrical short piece.
The stories often take place in the Bethnal Green Road area of London. All of the stories are told in first person. The narrator is often a young boy in his teens learning about the world and his sexual identity. In several of the stories, the narrator’s parents are separated. And it’s not always the father who is cheating. Sometimes it’s the mother.
Ridley does something that many writers do not do. He emphasizes words in dialogue in italics for emphasis. For example, “He doesn’t tell me anything anymore” [emphasis on any in anything]. This is repetitive, but I didn’t find it irritating. It’s how Ridley has his characters talk, which reflects how some real people talk. Dialogue is important In Ridley’s stories. You learn a lot about the characters through what they say (or don’t say). Dialogue propels the stories.
In several of the stories, lies and their consequences figure prominently.
I’m not going to summarize each story and inadvertently give away surprises. I’d rather quote a line from each story in order to pique prospective readers’ interests in tackling these stories.
“The Tooth of Troy Flamingo”: “’I wondered what it must be like to have a friendship ‘transform’ your life.’”
“Pins”: “’I grew up with you and dad looking disgusted if homosexuality was so much as mentioned on telly.’”
“A Shoe Three Inches Big”: “’If this was a century ago I would’ve had your mum declared insane for what she’s done.’”
“The Feat of Hyacinths”: “’Do nothing!’ she said. ‘That’s what you do best!’”
“Embracing Verdi”: “He’d be doing that revving thing, beckoning me to join him.”
“Alien Heart”: “Surely the greatest moment in all of cinema: the appearance of the Mother Ship.”
“Towers of Belief”: “’He laughs at human misery and he lies!’” [emphasis on and].
“Leviathan”: “’Sometimes loneliness is like an ocean,’ she whispered.”
“Another Story”: “But that’s another story.”
“Wonderful Insect”: “’Sand from the Sahara’”
The blurb on the back cover of Flamingoes in Orbit says, “both the barbaric and the beautiful . . . has become Ridley’s trademark.” Phillip Ridley’s stories take no prisoners. I had an unsettling, and at the same time, rewarding experience reading them. Highly recommended.

I was vaguely aware of Philip Ridley because of The Passion of Darkly Noon, but I didn't realise he wrote books! So this was a fun discovery.
Anyway, Flamingoes in Orbit is a collection of short stories that center around men and boys grappling in different ways with masculinity and being gay in a hostile time. It's very much a socially minded book in that way -- even when them being gay is not the main point of the story, it's still a very obvious presence lingering in the background. Most of these protagonists are young, and their stories deal with various facets of self discovery (not always good ones), but a couple stories have a more mature viewpoint, which sometimes brings a sense of regret into it and other times a kind of quiet perseverance.
That said, my first impressions of the book were that it almost perfectly matched the picture I have in my mind of a 'typical Valancourt release' -- competent, but ultimately a sort of niche curiosity from a very specific time rather than a genuine hidden gem. I was enjoying the stories but wasn't really sure about them in terms of literary value.
And looking back on the book now, in many ways that's still true. In some ways, Flamingoes in Orbit is a very... average type of literary fiction? Ridley's a competent writer, and the ideas that are in there, while sometimes kind of 'small', all work well. But on the other hand, the stories are not polished in terms of structure or pacing, and he has a tendency to write fairly heavy-handed endings. And as for the writing itself, there's really nothing going on here language wise. If anything, I was irritated by Ridley's writing quirks, like his fondness for italics for emphasis (truly a cardinal sin, especially when you do it in almost every single line of dialogue, sometimes more than once...).
But despite all of that, there's clearly a lot of heart here, and I think some of these stories are going to stick with me: 'The Fear of Hyacinths', a genuinely touching 'what could have been' story where a disaster protagonist visits the home of a recently deceased friend/almost-boyfriend from his youth and is forced to take stock of his life; 'Leviathan', a short and poetic story about a boy going through a bad time and finding comfort in whalesong and the stars; in which a man gives a messy account of his shitty life and the complicated, increasingly distant, and in some ways tragic relationship he had with his gay brother.
Ultimately, this is a very heartfelt book. I'm glad I read it. And despite the problems, I think I kind of want more -- I'll definitely be checking out Ridley's Crocodilia and In the Eyes of Mr Fury in the future.

A collection of short stories on LGBTQ+ identity, family life, and magical realism.
This sparkling, brilliant, affecting collection contains some of the best short stories I’ve ever read.
Ridley has such a wonderfully unique way of writing and structuring his stories.
He draws the reader in with uncanny and often darkly humorous plot points, which give way to unpredictable stories of humanity, with equal chances of ending on a comforting or poignant note.
He creates some of the most well-written dialogue I’ve read, managing to make it both entertaining and painfully realistic.
Grief and alienation are prominent themes throughout. The protagonists tend to be people who seem to fit in, but actually hold a secret that sets them apart.
Most are set in English suburbs, and most of the protagonists are children or teenagers. These recurring points evoke claustrophobia and nostalgia. The protagonists are trying to figure out who they are, but even if they’re able to, they’re still trapped in their respective situations.
My only complaint would be that I didn’t find all the stories to be equally interesting. While the majority of them were fantastic, a few didn’t have the same magic or momentum as the rest.

CW: ableism, animal cruelty, animal death, death of parent, homophobia, pregnancy
All of these stories deal with family, friendship, and growing up queer and having to stay closeted or be open and put up with homophobia. The gay protagonists are all messy and very unlikeable in their own ways, but they're well-written. Only one story has a non-queer protagonist, and he's also unlikeable due to how he treats his family, particularly his brother, who is queer. Overall, I really like this collection despite some upsetting moments of animal cruelty and homophobia.

malaise adolescenziale
June 18, 2014
Titolo ingannevole, come la copertina, volutamente: sotto l'attrazione fatale dei fenicotteri (rosa) e del concetto di orbita (che fa pensare al volo, allo spazio libero, inesplorato), si scopre una raccolta di racconti per lo più votata a una vera e propria estetica della violenza domestica. Connessa alla violenza, in modo davvero geniale, calcolato psicologicamente, il tema dell'omosessualità, come eventuale tappa nella crescita personale, come elemento di distorsione nella santa educazione maschilista e violenta, come elemento di disturbo in un ristrettissimo e precario equilibrio tra i sessi incentrato sulla dialettica servo-padrone. Considerazioni psicologiche, sociologiche e filosofiche come queste si possono trarre in gran quantità da un libro come questo, malgrado la ristrettezza tematica dei suoi racconti.
Particolarità della raccolta è innanzitutto la diversa natura dei racconti: lunghi racconti sono inframezzati da raccolti brevissimi, spesso di una sola pagina, che consistono in un'idea, un pensiero flash, un frammento di dialogo. Grande la capacità dell'autore di plasmare la materia narrativa e di dispiegare il suo senso tanto in racconti lunghi, quanto in altri brevissimi. Molti racconti sono poi accomunati da una particolare struttura temporale, con due, tre, quattro filoni che si alternano nella narrazione. Il tempo è sicuramente l'elemento dinamico nel libro, mentre lo spazio è quello chiuso, ristretto, soffocante e claustrofobico delle pareti domestiche, talvolta collocate in opposizione all'apertura sterminata degli spazi naturali (soprattutto la spiaggia, che ricorre più volte), che caratterizza la spensieratezza dell'infanzia.
Grande è, ancora, la capacità di caratterizzazione, che si tratti di ragazzini o adulti, che si tratti della crescita sessuale di un adolescente o dell'educazione violenta di un padre verso il figlio.
Se molti racconti sembrano uguali e il tema rischia di annoiare nella sua ridondanza, in realtà basta poco per accorgersi che il suo pregio consiste nelle piccole ma significative sfumature e declinazioni del tema centrale. Si può concludere con Tolstoj che tutte le famiglie felici si assomigliano, ma ognuna è infelice a modo suo.

This anthology first released in 1990 contained 13 short stories. The author edited and released through Valancourt this revised edition in 2018. This edition has 10 short stories, 2 of them new.
Embracing Verdi is the short story that I would return to over the years, I was looking forward to reading Ridley’s revised version. The 2 star rating is due to my shock at finding this had been totally rewritten. The boy Cloud who had lost his father is now completely unfamiliar to me and his name has been erased! The Magic has been lost.

A wonderful collection of stories from a great writer - I am so sorry I missed this and Mr. Ridley's other works when I was younger. On the cover it says 'Vividly contrasting innocence and experience, beauty and violence (these stories are) a daring and imaginative exploration of contemporary themes' further praise came from every publication from The Times to Time Out. I would echo all that praise and encourage you to give yourself a great treat and get your hands on this wonderful book.

C'è tutta la bravura di Philip Ridley in questi racconti, nel raccontare il disagio giovanile, i problemi familiari e adolescenziali, la malattia, la violenza e le nevrosi.
I giovani d'oggi sono proprio come fenicotteri in orbita: sospesi nello spazio, col vuoto attorno a loro; e il silenzio è la voce della loro solitudine.
