Pauline Melville is hard to pin down. In an era when so many writers are confined to a single voice or easy ideological stance, she-using the main metaphor in her novel The Ventriloquist’s Tale — speaks in many tongues, from the excruciating beauty of “Lucifer’s Shank,” wherein one friend watches another slowly succumbs to lymphatic cancer, to the boisterous black humor of “Don’t Give Me Your Sad Stories”, as two working-class alcoholics find a laughable stain among their garments of despair. Each tale proceeds with flawlessly wrought prose that sets the British writer apart from her peers. Impressively, Melville manages to end each story with a brutally inventive wallop; as a result this short story collection stands in true homage to the form.
