Publisher's Synopsis
He Danced With a Chair is Ted Walker's second collection of short stories. The eighteen pieces in this collection all appeared in publications such as The New Yorker, McCall's, The London Magazine, Virginia Quarterley, etc. Walker describes them as 'fictions and factions' - some being traditional, creative works of the imagination and others more directly autobiographical. The book's themes are mainly to do with family relationships in both childhood and maturity, by turns elegiac, wry, regretful and funny; the landscapes are mainly those of southern England. Shortlisted for the Macmillan Silver Pen Award 2002.
