A Pocketful of Rye(2013)

Anthony Masters

First published in 1964, Anthony Masters' early collection of short stories, A Pocketful of Rye, is preoccupied with problems of social marginalisation and inequality. With his typical sensitivity, Masters observes universal human struggles caused by aging, impoverishment, alienation and disability. These short stories are touching and poignant without being sentimental or patronising.
