“This compendium of words is like the Netflix series “Black Mirror” in that you don’t quite know what any given story is going for but you are happy they are short and happy that there are enough of them that you can bail out on any one, comfortable in the knowledge that there’s plenty left if you can’t sleep or get Black Mirror on Netflix.”

- Doug Stanhope, comedian

“Daniel Bird’s brief, but vivid, stories hit me like a literary Instagram feed, catapulting me to so many places so quickly, I needed a seat belt to stay anchored to my chair. Some stories disturbed me like a good Neil LaBute play, others left me gasping at the finish line at their O. Henry plot twist. What’s best, in Bird’s “Sorry” world there’s a story for everyone: some are tender, some are humorous and some just a wee bit dangerous.”

- Charlie Schroeder, author, Man of War

“Bird’s sharp-witted satire quietly introduces us to a host of characters doing their best (or, quite frankly, not at times) to navigate a modern world that seems confusingly at odds to their hardwiring. This collection of short stories paints a hilarious portrait of modern society with moments of laugh out loud humour, savage irony and ‘head in hands’ frustration.”

- Anna Passey, actress

"Daniel Bird is a skilled ironist. 'Sorry Men' is by turns, tragic, hilarious, and always snappy"

-Tom Tiding, author, Book of Quotations for People Who Hate Quotations

“With Sorry Men, Bird has given us a collection of literary diamonds that masterfully explore the challenges of seeking human connection in the modern world. Highly Recommended!”

G. Riley Mills, Emmy Award-winning writer, The Lost Story of Emmett Till - Trial in the Delta

“A collection of funny little razorblades.”

Jason Tobin, actor

“Frustrating, farcical, futile, and very funny.”
