It's our first Galley Beggar Double-A side!</p> <h2>The Folk Singer</h2> <p>On a hot stormy night in London a music journalist interviews a reclusive female folk singer still living off the royalties off one hit single in the 1970s. Over too many drinks she begins to drop her guard and as thunder cracks over the city what started out as confrontation soon turns into something else entirely…</p> <p>The Folk Song Singer was awarded the Society Of Authors' Tom-Gallon Prize 2014.</p> <h2>Los Desaparecidos</h2> <p>At a resort in Mexico a young English couple meet Martin Ladore, a wealthy ex-pat who relates a tale of politics and intrigue from his time working in the international oil business. As their holiday progresses the couple find themselves pulled back into a dangerous past that appears to be catching up with this engaging but mysterious stranger.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-product-author field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Author:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/store/books/author/ben-myers">Ben Myers</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-product-pages field-type-text field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Pages:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">32 (estimated)</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date-published field-type-datetime field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Published:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><span class="date-display-single">August 2014</span></div></div></div> Tue, 12 Aug 2014 11:00:00 +0000 jordison 194 at https://galleybeggar.co.uk https://galleybeggar.co.uk/store/books/folk-singer-los-desaperacidos#comments https://galleybeggar.co.uk/store/books/snorri-frosti-single <div class="commerce-product-field commerce-product-field-field-product-image field-field-product-image node-161-product-field-product-image"><div class="field field-name-field-product-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img src="https://galleybeggar.co.uk/sites/default/files/assets/jackets/ben-myers--snorri-and-frosti--single.jpg" width="390" height="544" alt="The cover of &#039;Snorry &amp; Frosti&#039; by Ben Myers." /></div></div></div></div><div class="commerce-product-field commerce-product-field-commerce-price field-commerce-price node-161-product-commerce-price"><div class="field field-name-commerce-price field-type-commerce-price field-label-inline clearfix"><div class="field-label">Price:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">£1.00</div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-product field-type-commerce-product-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><form class="commerce-add-to-cart commerce-cart-add-to-cart-form-58" action="/taxonomy/term/5/feed" method="post" id="commerce-cart-add-to-cart-form-58" accept-charset="UTF-8"><div><input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="58" /> <input type="hidden" name="form_build_id" value="form-00AZdT-GdkDE4axDu-jcybBCvMIYJoQrTNjyC7pb-cY" /> <input type="hidden" name="form_id" value="commerce_cart_add_to_cart_form_58" /> <div id="edit-line-item-fields--2" class="form-wrapper"></div><input type="submit" id="edit-submit--2" name="op" value="Add to cart" class="form-submit" /></div></form></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-product-description field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>A haunting novella from Benjamin Myers about two old brothers, in a cabin, in a north European country, chopping wood, rubbing along, living and… well, we don't want to say more. But this is a special, strange and wonderfully touching piece of writing. Writing to love.</p> <h2>Praise for Snorri &amp; Frosti</h2> <blockquote><p>Two old guys shooting the shit – it shouldn't be brilliant, but it really is. (I once said no one would win my heart with a PDF, and now I've been made to look a knob.) <em>-- Karl Smith, <a href="http://www.dazeddigital.com/artsandculture/article/16319/1/books-news">Dazed and Confused</a></em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote><p>It is a lovely little story, it took me about an hour to read and warmed, and then broke my cold, black heart. Well worth a read. Buy it and read it and you'll want to hug these pair of lovely old men. They are fucking adorable." <em>-- <a href="http://bookcunt.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/snorri-frosti-benjamin-myers.html">Bookcunt</a></em></p> </blockquote> <blockquote><p>This is an extraordinary novella that I loved to tiny little pieces and if you are a BM fan or not, you need to read it!
