‘Ways of Telling isn't like any other book. Is it social reportage, the eye at the keyhole, the war at the door? It is its own thing.’ Margaret Atwood
‘I couldn’t love it more. After the very first story I had a huge wide grin on my face. More more more! Every single story could be an award-winning short film. I love, love, love it.’ Carey Mulligan
‘An extraordinary book. Xandra Bingley's darting, curious eyes miss nothing and we follow them with her at a headlong speed. I wish I could write like that.’ Harriet Walter
‘Fractured, haunting, intimate and totally original, Ways of Telling knocked the breath out of me. It’s dangerously exact, wilfully ambitious, wild in its scope and perfect in its precision.’ Olivia Laing
‘The pieces in this book are just the right size to blow one’s mind in a train or on a tram: they have a most unusual delicacy, wit and freshness, and their physical world is powerfully seductive.’ Helen Garner
From the bestselling author of Bertie, May & Mrs Fish comes a remarkable collection of stories. As a bystander at Princess Diana’s funeral, a fan at a James Brown concert, a passenger on a Welsh bus and a patient in a hectic hospital, Xandra Bingley’s vivid portraits of everyday experience remind us of the fleeting and mysterious transience of life.
Xandra Bingley started work at the age of seventeen for MI5. On moving to the US, she worked at the Buffalo University Poetry Library, annotating Dylan Thomas and Pamela Hansford-Johnson's love letters; at The Atlantic Monthly Review in Boston as a reader, and at the Kennedy Institute of Politics at Harvard, as assistant to the Director. Subsequently in London she worked at The New Review literary magazine, then became a publisher’s reader and then a commissioning editor at Jonathan Cape before she started her own literary agency, which she ran for 15 years, representing Ali Smith, Esther Freud, Geoff Dyer and Alasdair Gray, amongst many others. Her childhood wartime memoir Bertie, May and Mrs Fish was published in the UK to great acclaim in 2005. She lives in London, NW3.
