  Pocketbooks is a collaborative publishing program uniting galleries, publishers, artists, writers, poets, and more from around the world in a series of small, beautifully designed, and collectable paperback books. The fifteen planned volumes in the series will be published over the next two years. When complete they will provide a compendium of art forms and ideas offering a generalist vision of contemporary culture at the start of the twenty-first century.

  Introducing a range of characters and themes, from childhood to old age, from family loyalties to communication breakdowns, and from loss to love and freedom, her stories buzz with insouciant humour as characters address contemporary dilemmas and classic situations. With settings ranging from Britain to Spain, to Greece and the United States, this is a cosmopolitan and engaging collection. Thomas's ability to capture the smallest detail with characteristic humour and bite make her stories a joy to read.
