Synopsis

This is a debut collection of eight compulsively readable, incredibly perceptive and refreshingly funny stories about today's brand of social outcasts. Lynn, the protagonist of 'Binge', is a forty-something Manhattan pastry chef dabbling with drugs and desperate to feel connected. In 'Sahara', a young man is kidnapped whilst wearing a kangaroo suit advertising a fast-food restaurant. And in 'ON.com' a young woman decides that what is missing from her life is a gay man. You Are Not The One marks the auspicious arrival of an exciting new talent.

Media Reviews
Many of the stories in Vestal McIntyre's debut collection capture that moment when it looks as if life might take a turn for the better. * * The Independent * *
McIntyre's curiously touching stories demonstrate a promising talent. * * The Observer * *
McIntyre has a kind eye for the cast of misfits and outsiders whose foibles he renders endearing, rather than pathetic, but he also has a sharp and very perceptive wit. * * The Metro * *
McIntyre's characters, his ability to draw one into their extraordinary lives, his humour and lightness of touch are beguiling. * * The Guardian * *
