Some Kind of Immortality is the first collection of short stories
from one of the Wales’ most notable poets. Tony Curtis first
published a story in 1970 and, alongside his award-winning poems,
his stories have appeared regularly in magazines and anthologies,
and been broadcast on the BBC.
After five decades of writing, he has returned to the story form
and this collection brings together earlier work, re-considered and
edited, and new stories. Imbued with a sense of contemporary
immediacy, the stories range over subjects as diverse as sperm
donors, football betting, care for the elderly and email
infidelity.
Full of the energy, inventiveness and human sympathy that
characterises his poetry, Curtis’s fiction explores the present
moment, sensuous experience, public and private histories, grief
and delight. He brings wit and an alert and intelligent sensibility
to bear on every subject, making these short stories utterly
engaging.
