Some people have complained about this year’s collection, New Writing 3, although I cannot understand
why. Surely 500 pages of original writing of this quality, for £6.99, is pretty amazing?
Fiction - both parts of novels and complete short stories - makes up most of the book. There are some
enjoyable pieces by famous writers, such as Candia McWilliam and Rose Tremain. It’s a strange fact that the
less well-known people seem to have written mainly about food. Take my advice about Jane Harris’s Those
Nails - this piece should definitely not be read just after meals. It contains some very unpleasant scenes which
could turn your stomach!
There is fine work from nineteen poets, including R. S. Thomas and John Burnside. There are pieces from
novels-in-progress by Jim Crace and Jane Rogers. Finally, there is a little non-fiction, which includes a very
funny article by Alan Rusbridger on certain newspapers, and an extraordinary piece about herself from Ursula
Owen. This is an exceptional collection and I for one can’t wait to see what next year’s choice will include.
17. How might you feel after reading Jane Harris’s piece?

C. unhappy D. sick
