Review of An Embarrassing Odour by Andrew Biss

An Embarrassing Odour is such a skilfully written story that Andrew Biss had me completely fooled by the outcome. I was convinced I knew the answer to the embarrassing odour halfway through the story but the humorous twist in the tale came as a complete surprise.

Ethel is a smelly old woman of seventy eight, or is she? Andrew Biss will keep you guessing right to the end in this extremely accomplished story from the pen of a master short story writer.

Told with characteristic wit, this story comes from the collection Strange Tales of the Curiously Uncommon. If An Embarrassing Odour is anything to go by then Andrew Biss has produced yet another superb short story collection. Highly recommended.
