The Other Side of the Story

Product Information

Jojo, a high-flying literary agent on the up, has just made a very bad career move: she’s jumped into bed with her married boss, Mark … At all times a heavy ceramic casserole would sit on a pale blue Aga, so should people drop in unexpectedly, I could wander out in my bare feet, welcome them warmly, give them dinner, then press my home-made elderberry wine on them. I would be like Nigella Lawson.” Jojo, a sharkish literary agent, has just made a very bad career move - she's slept with her married boss Mark. Gemma was kind of forgettable and a bit arrogant, although I'll admit that I took her side over the whole Lily thing. But it's a sad state of affairs when a reader is hoping that more bad stuff happens to a character, and this is what I found myself doing with Lily. I enjoyed every single bit of her suffering. There was just something so unpleasant about her, even though she is supposed to be nice. As they continue to walk around the place, the narrator sees Eliza Dimbleby, and this surprises him because he knows she is due to give a lecture that evening. He then finds his watch has stopped. The old man tells him that people often meet others they knew from the road in this place and are astonished to see familiar faces.

SSSSHHHH!’ he hissed down the phone. ‘Do you want the whole world to know about it? I’m sorry I ever told you now.’ What a day. It had barely started and so many things had already gone wrong. Beginning with my hair. I hadn’t had time to get it cut in ages and, in a mad fit, I’d cut the front of it myself. I’d only meant to trim it, but once I started I couldn’t stop, and ended up with a ridiculously short fringe. I parked, very badly, outside the house. (Modest sixties semi-d.) Dad’s car was gone. Dead men don’t drive cars. Write a monologue in which the villain explains to the audience why they really aren’t the bad guy. For example, Ursula from Disney’s The Little Mermaid might say that she wasn’t to blame for all the troubles that happened, as she was only trying to help Ariel in her quest to win the heart of Prince Eric. (“Ariel should have read the contract more thoroughly, she chose to disobey her father, and how was I to know that King Triton didn’t know about this prince?”) The mother in Gemma's story was overbearing, annoying and was wayyy too dependant, but she was REAL. And I know that I've enjoyed a book when I am thoroughly and intensely frustrated with one of the characters, because everyone feels that way in real life about at least one person they know.The hero of a story is written in a way that allows the audience to support and sympathize with them. But a story isn’t very interesting without a conflict, and that’s where the villain comes into play. The villain tries their best to thwart the hero at every turn, which makes audiences cheer for the hero even more. However, as we mentioned in our Villains article in the Superhero Series, in a villain’s mind, they are the hero of the story. They believe so strongly in their desire to achieve power that they feel their deceitful deeds are justified. So let’s put those villains in the spotlight and tell their stories.

The story is a highly symbolic one in which a man walking along a road stops for a rest, goes through a hedge, and finds himself in a strange world where nothing leads anywhere.

Even as I rang Dad’s direct line I knew he wouldn’t answer, that wherever he was, it wasn’t at work. Hand over the speaker, I instructed Mam to look up the number for the Kilmacud peelers. But before she’d even got off her chair, someone answered Dad’s phone. Dad. Yes, but . . .’ I’d threatened Andrea and Moses that even if they were dead they were to show up this morning. And here I was proposing to abandon the scene – for what exactly? Much of the things that Nury has pointed out in this book is blatantly obvious for someone like myself whose heart has always been with Hong Kong. And yet I was still able to learn a few things that the big Uncle Sam still does to this day to shakily maintain his position at the top of the world. That things weren’t working out’’?

A man appears with a scythe over his shoulder, and the narrator grabs this man’s drinks can and drinks from it gladly. He then sees the old man close the gate and tell him that this is where his road ends. The story concludes with the narrator falling asleep, and, as he drifts off, recognising the man with the scythe as his own brother who had left the road a year or so ago. Then he said he wanted to talk to me. I thought he was going to tell me I could have my conservatory. But he said he wasn’t happy, that things weren’t working out and that he was leaving.’ Fright deprived me of speech. He’s never cross with me. ‘I will call you when I can talk.’ He sounded very firm. A little like… funnily enough, a little like a father.
