BOOKS and a PLAY?
Hands
(a novella)
By Grant Sharkey - £5.00
Written as a response to suffering with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for years and years, 'Hands' is based on mashed up love/hate relationship I had with my hands at the time. The pain they caused me and the way they were also an integral part of everything I do from playing bass to writing, painting and origami.
Told in the world of singer/songwriter's, Hands explores symiosis, friendship and how fragile they are. Hugo Mitts is the artist causing a buzz in town, Sean is his best friend. The record companies are banging on their door to become the 'next big thing', but it's all threatened with the arrival of the beautiful and successful Melonie Merks.
Now in it's second edition.
'Hands' by Grant Sharkey for £5 + p&p
