The short story CUT (Winner of the Phillip Good Memorial Prize) by British novelist Ray Robinson, author of ELECTRICITY.
'A powerful distillation of fear, anger and compassion. Ray Robinson’s “Cut” is one of those short stories I’ll get out and make people read when they question the value of the form. When they question its ability to move you. When they ask how something so short can ever really amount to anything. It provides the perfect answer.'
Nicholas Royle
