Yesterfang

Yesterfang is a compact yet rich and haunting novella positioned between fantasy/dream and memory/reality. As with a lot of D F Lewis's writing, it distils a very familiar British life and British experiences through a surreal lens, in this case resulting in one of his more fantastical stories - a tale that reaches deep into places and worlds of the imagination. Presented in the form of a journey - a life journey - this juxtaposition creates an exhilarating sense of psychological meaning and nostalgia that feels as close as, yet as deeply elusive as, a dream. Ambiguous, enigmatic, yet also down to earth and pragmatic, this book creates a unique and unforgettable atmosphere that lingers in the mind. Or maybe lingers in some place just below the mundane world around you.

Yesterfang is available here for the first time as a stand-alone novella.
