Book Launch: 'Doppelgängers' by Mark Blayney

When: Tuesday 24th November 2015 - 7.30pm-9.30pm

Where: Chapter Art Centre, Cardiff, CF5 1QE

You are warmly invited to the launch of Mark Blayney's new short story collection 'Doppelgangers' at First Space in Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff, at 7.30pm on the 24th of November.

Come and keep company with thieves and murdering artists, with the couple who miss the ferry for their make-or-break holiday; the mayonnaise deliveryman who becomes a reluctant golddigger, and the psychoanalyst and his GP wife investigating a local widow's naked appearances in church.

Between these pages you can never be sure quite who you'll meet next, but you can be sure that you're in safe hands. An intriguing new collection from a writer you'll want to keep an eye on.

Free entry and a complimentary glass of wine. All welcome.

"Mark Blayney is a visionary" --Victor Pemberton

"An audacious imagination and stylistic brio...full of surprises, it is a fine collection" --D. M. Thomas

"These highly entertaining stories intrigue, amuse, surprise and unsettle all at once...with a confidence and verve that make this collection a cracking good read" --Lindsay Clarke

Mark Blayney won the Somerset Maugham Prize for Two Kinds of Silence. His story 'The Murder of Dylan Thomas' was a Seren Short Story of the Month and he's published poems and stories in Agenda, Poetry Wales, The Interpreter's House, The London Magazine and the delinquent. His second book Conversations with Magic Stones was described by John Bayley as 'remarkable... as good as some of the best of Elizabeth Bowen's, and praise does not go higher than that.' Mark performs comedy as well as MCing regularly and his new one-man show Be your own life-coach... with ABBA tours this year.
