The Hunter and other stories of men by David Cohen is a collection of award-winning short stories that delve into the quirky and unexpected facets of human behaviour. From a property developer's clash with an ibis population to a bus stop's identity crisis outside a dementia care facility in Düsseldorf, the tales traverse a range of unique characters and situations. Cohen's witty and affectionate prose shines through in stories about a young man who must pose as a woodcutter for tourists, an archivist locked in a peculiar battle with a courier, and a backpacker in Israel experiencing a surreal religious moment.
