One Man's Meat
One Man's Meat: The Year of Short Stories | Jeffrey Archer
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
One Man's Meat is part of The Year of Short Stories and is one of several digital shorts released to celebrate the publication of Jeffrey Archer’s magnificent seventh collection, Tell Tale. Taken from Jeffrey Archer's third collection of short stories, Twelve Red Herrings, comes One Man's Meat, an irresistible, witty and ingenious short read. When Michael Whitaker spots the stunning Anna Townsend on the steps of the theatre, he decides he will do whatever it takes to get to know her. Finding a way to get a ticket for the seat next to her, he then invites her to a drink at the interval. By the end of the play, Michael asks her to accompany him to dinner. But what will her answer be? What follows are four different endings . . . choose just one, or – if choosing to read all four – they can be read in the following order: Rare, Burnt, Overdone, and À Point . . . Be sure to look out for more from The Year of Short Stories collection, including The Endgame and No Room at the Inn.

At first I was sceptical about the multiple endings for this story, but I should have had more faith! The different endings were well served, and I liked the mix of the good, the bad and the ugly. The story itself was a little dry at times, but nonetheless enjoyable.
