ALAN BLACKWOOD

Pot Shots is a collection of forty of Alan Blackwoods 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 Blackwoods shorts are like novels condensed to a single page, tantalising, evocative, poignant - John Carey, Emeritus Professor of English Literature, Oxford University.

Aprende Piano y los teclados examina cómo funciona un piano, los orígenes del instrumento y su evolución hasta la actualidad. Con ayuda de ilustraciones, se orienta al joven músico a dar los primeros pasos hacia tecnicas mas avanzadas. El libro se complementa con sugerencias, ejercicios y partituras para practicar solo o en dueto.

This new collection of pieces by Alan Blackwood can hardly be called short stories; they are gem-like concentrations or distillations of a series of images erotic, sad, darkly humorous, that Alan calls vignettes. They will have the reader turning compulsively from page to page to find out what on earth hes going to come up with next. Its literature in a world of its own.
