How Do People Stay The Same | By Mark Bowles
With exquisite prose and lacerating wit this is a delicate, deeply tender book – an exploration of family, childhood, love, and the personal bonds that tie us together.
It’s told as a series of journal entries that move backwards in time, following the life of Patrick Boyd – from the present-day contentment of family life and backwards through darker, lonelier, sadder stretches of time.
It lays all of Patrick’s experience before us, with the challenges of work, housing and all the other pinpricks of existence jostling with his complex inner world. It reveals a fragile man ground down by the world around him – but who might just be able to change and might just have the hope of a brighter future.
