In this intriguing and occasionally surreal volume of novellas and shorter fiction, BAFTA-nominated screenwriter and acclaimed novelist Paul A. Mendelson explores with humour and pathos how our words make us so vulnerably human.
A volunteer on a helpline hears a voice at the other end that changes her world forever...
A failing scriptwriter tries to sell his mad movie to a famous director by pretending it s the story of his life...
A proud Scotsman wakes up after a mild stroke to discover he has turned English...
A middle-aged man whose young father died before he was born meets his long lost parent in a dusty attic...
A husband leaves his wife forever until he realises he has left his precious watch behind...
Praise for The Art of Listening:
Compelling! Stories that move seamlessly from warm humour to unexpected and often disconcerting denouements. David Lister, The Independent
Paul A. Mendelson s humorous and touching stories are a joy to read. He actually made me laugh out loud! Leigh Russell, million book selling crime writer
Mendelson has done it again! The Art of Listening is laugh out loud funny, entertaining and surprisingly moving. Karol Griffiths, script editor (Coen Brothers, Warners, BBC) and author of The Art of Script Editing
Makes the art of reading these stories enormous fun... Paul s humanity leaps from the pages. His comedy roots are apparent too. Geoffrey Sax, film and TV director

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this intriguing and occasionally surreal volume of novellas and shorter fiction, BAFTA-nominated screenwriter and acclaimed novelist Paul A. Mendelson explores with humour and pathos how our words make us so vulnerably human. A volunteer on a helpline hears a voice at the other end that changes her world forever. A failing scriptwriter tries to sell his mad movie to a famous director by pretending it's the story of his life. A proud Scotsman wakes up after a mild stroke to discover he has turned English. A middle-aged man whose young father died before he was born meets his long lost parent in a dusty attic. A husband leaves his wife forever - until he realises he has left his precious watch behind. Stories don't emerge out of thin air. They're inspired from what we see, what we hear and most importantly, what we experience. Sometimes they're funny, sometimes moving, often plain weird. All a writer has to do is - listen. This charming collection of seven short stories is inspired by Paul's many experiences. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781912881468
