Speaking with the Angel

Twelve completely new stories, written by twelve of the most celebrated voices in fiction today; clever, outrageous, witty, edgy, tender, wicked... this is what they meant by "original."Bestselling author Nick Hornby has brought together a star-studded group of writers to create this one-of-a-kind collection of first-person narratives. Here are Melissa Bank, Roddy Doyle, Dave Eggers, Helen Fielding, Colin Firth, Robert Harris, Patrick Marbis, John O'Farrell, Giles Smith, Zadie Smith, Irvine Welsh, and Nick Hornby himself. "Speaking with the Angel" is the anthology of the year: hot... hilarious... lively... literary... and all original.
