Sightseeing is the very best of almost award-winning author Andrew Smith's short fiction. All previously published in acclaimed literary journals, each story is a tour de force of narrative and characterization. Featuring protagonists such as: - a country policeman in an agonizing dilemma over a friend's possible guilt - a tourist's astonishing revelation about herself to a complete stranger - a homemaker and her nostalgia for romance in a shadowy ballroom - a sex worker's disturbing self-discovery in the light of a client's needs - a war survivor's hallucinatory delirium concerning her past life - a drag queen, having killed another, is bemused by a charge of manslaughter and much more. Each story is masterfully told, vividly peopled, and evocatively located.
