An arresting, discomforting collection from 'one of Britain's best young short story writers' (Daily Telegraph) that revels in the rotten and festers in the imagination. In Grudova's unforgettably surreal style, these stories expose the absurdities behind contemporary ideas of work, Britishness and art-making, to conjure a singular, startling strangeness that proves the deft skill of a writer at the top of her game.
