In his first collection of short fiction, Fragmented, Jeremy Worman traced a narrative from hippy squatter in the seventies to established husband, father and lecturer reflecting on life in inner city London in the present. In Swimming with Diana Dors he digs deeper, bringing to life memorable characters who remain with the reader. Variously personal, elegiac, political, and humorous, the stories range over themes of outsiders, loss, death, ghosts, change and the importance of place, with many stories set in London.

Several stories have been previously published in anthologies and literary magazines, including Signals-2 and Signals-3 (London Magazine Editions), The London Magazine, Ambit, The Frogmore Papers, Pen Pusher and The Penniless Press. 'Terry' was broadcast on BBC Radio Manchester.

With his characteristic tone that balances nostalgia and against a critical eye and walks the boundary between being humorous and detached, Swimming with Diana Dors is a brilliantly observed collection that will entertain and delight a wide readership. -- Publisher: Cinnamon Press
