ESSAY: Some Writings by James A. Hopkin.

Two Days ago James sent me this email with fabulous links:

Hi Ralph,
I thought these may be of interest to you for your Georgian website:



In addition i have written 3 short stories about Georgia - these will be on BBC radio 4 (and online), 3-45pm, on February 9,10, 11 next year.

Gaumarjos!
James

The novel, 'Winter under Water' (Picador) and the stories, 'Even the Crows Say Krakow' (Picador), available now. The short story, 'Jeane' in the anthology, 'Paint a Vulgar Picture' (Serpent's Tail) just out.

ALI SMITH - ''James Hopkin is a writer of great grace and vitality''

''Sentence by sentence, image by image, there are few contemporary writers who understand words the way Hopkin does. In fact, I can think of no other. If you care about fine writing, read Winter Under Water.''

- M J HYLAND, author of the Booker-shortlisted, Carry Me Down
