The Sugar Mile

Viac o knihe

Set just days before September 11, 2001, the narrative unfolds in an uptown Manhattan bar where the poet meets Joe Stone, a fellow Brit. As Joe recounts his memories of London's "Black Saturday" during the Blitz, the contrast between his haunting past and the bartender's optimism reveals deeper themes of beauty and innocence facing impending disaster. Through various poetic forms, the story deftly intertwines past and present, exploring the shadows of history and the fragility of everyday life.
