Sinossi
A girl repeatedly chops her boyfriend in half but, while her “other half&; multiplies, she is still not satisfied. Love transforms a mother working down the fish and chip shop – into Elvis. Clary&;s father puts antlers on stuffed rabbits to make jackalopes, but when her mother walks out on them, Clary has to help her father if they are to survive.
Beautiful, sharp and fearless, Costa Short Story Award winner Angela Readman&;s debut collection is aptly titled, for each story packs its share of explosive material. Exposing all kinds of prejudice – against age, status, disability – the stories also offer quirky new strategies for troubled lives.
If Angela Carter is Readman&;s fairy godmother, then David Lynch is her wicked stepbrother. Don&;t say you weren&;t warned. . .
