"The Bank Manager and the Bum" is a story of turns. Darren Sant rolls out each character with a first impression that lets you think you have it all figured out, then you realize he's just masked a much greater depth. From the development of Giles, the cocky and distant bank manager who evolves into a compassionate, caring man, to the bum, Frank, who sheds his gnarly shell to become a wise, yet life-torn figure, Sant is a literary illusionist, painting the picture in words that bite and don't let go. This is a fast paced and unforgettable novella, with enough room left over for a second or third "installment." I hope he continues this as a series. I'll buy them all.
