Pot Shots is a collection of forty of Alan Blackwood’s very short stories or vignettes. Written in the first person and based on real people, places and events, they are, in turn, witty, ironic and sad. Together they form a kaleidoscope of images and situations by a writer of rare talent and insight who also believes through his economy with words that less is more.
‘Alan Blackwood’s shorts are like novels condensed to a single page, tantalising, evocative, poignant’ – John Carey, Emeritus Professor of English Literature, Oxford University.
