4.9/5 (21651 ratings)

Description:A Granta Best Young British NovelistThe stunning new collection of stories from the award-winning author of The Liar’s Dictionary and Attrib. and Other Stories.Granta Best Young British novelist and author of Attrib. and other stories, Eley Williams returns with a subversive and essential collection of short stories exploring the nature of relationships both intimate and transient – from the easy gamesmanship of contagious yawns to the horror of a smile fixed for just a second too long. Whether jostling for attention or ducking to evade it, here characters seek connections not only with each other but also with versions of themselves.In ‘Cuvier’s Feather’, a courtroom sketch artist delights in committing portraits of their lover to paper but their need to capture likenesses forever is revealed to have darker, more complex intentions. At the centre of ‘Wilgefortis’, a child’s schoolyard crush on a saint marks a confrontation with the reality of a teenage body in flux. An editor of canned laughter loses their confidence and seeks divine intervention; an essayist annotates their thoughts on Keats by way of internet-gleaned sex tips.Moderate to Poor, Occasionally Good hums with fossicking language and ingenious experiments in form and considers notions of playfulness, authenticity and care as it holds relationships to their sweet misunderstandings, soured reflections, queer wish fulfilments and shared, held breaths.Praise for Eley 'She is a writer for whom one struggles to find comparison, because she has arrived in a class of her own’ Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent'Funny, playful and utterly bravura’ Melissa Harrison, Financial Times'It's exhilarating to dive into the associative rush of Williams's writing’ Vanity FairWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
