I think his stories shine a light on very real and gritty human moments. There’s no idealisation or grandeur, he speaks about small moments which are not usually wrote about and that makes you think about life in a slightly different way.

I think you're absolutely right and sometimes it seems like those gritty moments are so small or common that you wouldn't think to write about them but he does and it really makes you think about the meaning of a bottle clink or a brief conversation with a stranger.

Thanks for getting back to me. Sorry it took me so long to reply. I was out but I have been reading the comments and appreciating the wisdom imparted
