Daniel Bird's first short story collection is now available in paperback and eBook

A father has his daughter’s crayon drawings tattooed all over his body so he can never lose sight of them.

A commuter pretends to be Russian in an attempt to avoid being robbed.

After a first date, a lovesick man plays it cooler than anybody ever has.

The ex husband of a lottery winner finds optimism in the numbers she chose.

Two astronauts scour the solar system for a new home for mankind whilst pining for their exes.

The world of Sorry Men is one of earnestness and desperation; fate and farce; hilarity and hopelessness.

It absolutely will not restore your faith in men.

 

"Sorry Men is a knowing and absurdist lark--a jolt of flash fiction that comes out jabbing and keeps jabbing as the sorry men found therein are not only sorry, but lacking--not nearly as smart as they might be, yet etched with honesty and empathy by Bird, an artist in miniature, and loving portraitist of the delusional."
