The Trick is to Keep Breathing
Remembering and forgetting are the same bloody thing. He is not alive anymore. That's all there is to know.
Joy Stone is reeling. Blindsided by the deaths of her mother and lover, nothing makes sense anymore, and everything begins to unravel. Joy takes us inside her mind as she fights to stay away from the edge with wit, grit and ever-present gallows humour that revels in the absurdity of it all.
Adapted from Janice Galloway’s 1989 novel, The Trick Is to Keep Breathing is a brave and powerful work, now widely regarded as a Scottish contemporary classic.
