We Aim to Live is a collection of fourteen powerful, dark and funny short stories, about ordinary people – mostly men – at moments of crisis, crossroads or revelation. The stories look unflinchingly at men’s behaviour and the moments when masculinity is on the edge of turning dangerous.

Some stories portray the toxic world of professional football drawing upon the writer’s past in that world; while others are set in high end hotels, removals firms and sheds.

Here, the issues of masculinity, class and the struggle with life’s small (and large) humiliations are all told in an authentic and utterly distinctive voice.

Budden is so insightful and brilliant. I especially loved the stories about his days at an elite football club.
