A mixed bag of short stories and excerpts from works in progress. Some I enjoyed, some I read but didn't pay too much attention to. ( ) The second the the series of short story books by Oxfam to highlight their work in certain areas, and air is climate change. Again some of the stories did not appeal, but the three i particular liked were: Goodnight children, Everywhere by Beryl Bainbridge, The Night Highway by Louise Welsh and Suddenly Dr Cox by DBC Pierre The 'Air' collection of the four Ox-Tales books doesn't inspire me to pick up the other three; of the nine featured stories, only three were in any way gripping - Beryl Bainbridge's Goodnight Children, Everywhere, DBC Pierre's Suddenly Dr. Cox and Kamila Shamsie's The Desert Torso (which was quite lovely and thought-provoking). The quality of these three stories made this collection worth reading, but I was disappointed with the inclusion of 'novel excerpts' as short stories from a couple of the authors, and some very bland writing from the others. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Ox-Tales is a set of four compelling and collectible books, each themed on one of the elements. 'Air' features stories by Alexander McCall Smith, Helen Simpson, DBC Pierre, AL Kennedy, Kamila Shamsie, Beryl Bainbridge, Louise Welsh, Diran Adebayo and Helen Fielding, and a poem by Vikram Seth. The idea behind Ox-Tales is to raise money for Oxfam and along the way to highlight the charity's work in project areas: agriculture in Earth, water projects in Water, conflict aid in Fire, and climate change in Air.
