About

From the author of the UK bestseller Bertie, May & Mrs. Fish comes an extraordinary new collection of unforgettable stories. 

As a bystander at Princess Diana's funeral, a fan at a James Brown concert, a passenger on a Welsh bus and a patient in a hectic hospital, Xandra Bingley's vivid portraits of everyday experience remind us of the fleeting and mysterious transience of life.

"A sharp, wise and knowing eye, combined with a rare delicacy of prose — this is unlike anything else you will have read. An absolute treat." — Andrew Marr

"Ways of Telling isn't like any other book. Is it social reportage, the eye at the keyhole, the ear at the door? It is its own thing."—Margaret Atwood

"Fractured, haunting, intimate and totally original, Ways of Telling knocked the breath out of me. It's dangerously exact, wilfully ambitious, wild in its scope and perfect in its precision." —Olivia Laing
