Dust, dancing

In Ian Gouge’s eclectic new collection, Dust, dancing, many of the protagonists find themselves thwarted: by ambition, by love, by old age. They experience unavoidable setbacks and occasional victories: the man tattooing his life history on his back; the woman fantasising about a Hollywood film star; the man fired from his job; the actress believing she is destined to be ‘a Bond Girl’; the policewoman making a gruesome discovery. We share the pleasure and pain associated with their various journeys, the resonance of our own experience adding layers to our reading.
