We Aim to Live is a collection of fourteen powerful, dark and funny short stories, about ordinary people mostly men at moments of crisis, crossroads or revelation. The stories look unflinchingly at men& apos; s behaviour and the moments when masculinity is on the edge of turning dangerous.
Some stories portray the toxic world of professional football drawing upon the writer& apos; s past in that world; while others are set in high end hotels, removals firms and sheds.
Here, the issues of masculinity, class and the struggle with life& apos; s small (and large) humiliations are all told in an authentic and utterly distinctive voice.
